Note: Chris Sabo sent me these images of his personal ski mountaineering visit to the summit of South Sister on June 9, 2006. I used Photoshop Elements to enhance the sharpness, contrast and colors; Chris did the hard work!

Check the Current Trail Conditions for the entire Deschutes National Forest for which Chris is now responsible. Due to the current Bush Administration budget cutbacks, the three Forest Service Districts have been collapsed into the National Forest Headquarters. The remaining long term personnel are picking up the duties of the twelve year-around men and women who have been downsized. Read more about Forest Service Privatization. Chris will not be able to provide the weekly Trail Tips of previous years. These weekly seasonal Trail Tips have been archived by TraditionalMountaineering and can be viewed on our web.
