I had not read about people skiing and snowboarding down Snow Creek till now. Thank you, Cy. It was a good read.

A guy called Robb did it last year. My link is on page 1 of this thread under pullharder.org
Its mind boggling like the guy (Dave Watson) that skied down k2 from the bottleneck near 28000 ft.

Wow.

Wow.

I covered many miles on San J and San G with Cliff as well as rode many miles on the bike alongside him. I can say that this statement isn't much exagerated. I heard many of the stories of snow creek climbs that involved Ralph Glen.

He remained very active on the mountain into his mid seventies. I recall snowshoeing to the peak with him one day from the tram. I stopped to take a short break, with others, before tackling the hardest part of the trip. Cliff kept on going. Letting him get a lead was a bad idea. At half his age and in good shape I could not catch him before the summit.

One of his favorite photos was of him with some female companions in snowshoes on San J. peak. They all had on snowhoes and ahhh..only snowshoes... It was after all a bright sunny day!

Wow...I couldn't resist a quick search on Cliff. Looks like he was at least a P-51 racing Doctor...Couldn't find any info on the 19 YO ice skaters though!

I am not yet a member of that group. Does anyone who is, know if they car pool to some of the further places?

I just heard that David V climbed Snowcreek yesterday. He said that snow completely covered the Chock Stone and they walked right over it.
