Replying to Mt. Rainier
Has anyone skied any of the routes on Rainier? I am in the process of planning a trip with a friend and would like to get in contact with an EXPERIENCED ski-mountaineer who has done the many many routes that can be taken on this mountain.
My friend and I are both expert level skiers, but our backcountry experience is limited to day hikes in the Rockies. This trip will be taking place in the first half of July, and we would like to ski a route with as much vertical as possible, but not one in which the risk of crevasses is severe.
I know the Muir snowfield route is recommended for someone with these qualifications, but is there anything else? say something that would be more than a day-trip?
