Mt. Rainier: Ski Mountaineering Seminar a Success!

RMI Guides Tyler Reid, Sean Collon and a team of clients spent the last five days learning the art of Ski Mountaineering. The team explored Mount Rainier's incredible winter snowpack and accessible but challenging technical terrain. The team spent the days on the mountain learning and practicing a variety of ski specific technical skills. The trip culminated with an ascent to Camp Muir (10,060') and the team will enjoy an exciting 5,000' ski descent today.

Mt Rainier: Expedition Skills Seminar Update

Today our winter team made it to 11,500 feet on Mt. Rainier! It was tough going at the end. We had thigh deep snow and we decided to make the safe decision to turn around. The weather is beautiful but the conditions are tough. However, that didn't stop the team from having a great day up high. It's a unique feeling being up here in the winter. We are all alone and we are enjoying Rainier's pristine beauty that can only be enjoyed in winter. RMI Guide Jason Thompson is now giving a lecture in snow science and avalanche awareness. That's all for now. RMI Guide JJ Justman

Expedition Skills Seminar - Winter:  Team Gathers at Rainier BaseCamp

RMI's Expedition Skill Seminar - Winter is a go! And the first thing we are doing is the 1st principal of Leave No Trace...plan and prepare. Adam Knoff and I are busy with the team organizing and packing gear, practicing knots and hitches, and teaching various self rescue techniques all in the comfort of RMI BaseCamp in Ashford. We have a decent forecast and our hope is to make a big push up to Camp Muir tomorrow. Will we summit? How high will we get in the frigid snows of Rainier? Stay tuned to find out. One thing is for sure, we will be having fun while going through advanced training for big mountain climbing. RMI Guide JJ Justman
