Mount Daniel
The last ski day of the season - one of the best days I’ve ever had in the mountains.
Early morning reflection on Squaw Lake
Cathedral Peak
Deep Lake
Starting up now - the east peak of Daniel visible
Snow sliding off the rock slabs
Mount Stuart behind
Looking back at the basin we came up
I’ve seen this dog before on South Sister and Adams haha, funny how you can recognize a dog
The vast snow slopes looking at the other Daniel summits
Venus Lake (covered in snow), Spade Lake, Mount Rainier
Bears Breast slabs doesn’t hit the same with snow on them
Looking over at the snow slopes of Hinman.
We abandoned the idea of doing the circumnav of Daniel and tagging Hinman to prioritize ski quality.
Pea Soup Lake just starting to melt
Venus Lake


Onto the Lynch Glacier



Second lap on this north facing run, probably the best corn + position combo I’ve skied


Even this last east facing run was superb and surprisingly not overcooked
Jump the glide crack

One last climb up this gulley
Peggy’s Pond

Notes
- This was probably ~23 miles and ~12000 feet of vertical gain in a little under 14 hours.
