      <image:caption>The snowpack temperature profile during urnal faceting remains consistent during the cold and clear weather. It keeps a steep temperature gradient in the top 20-30 cm of the snowpack. At about 30 cm depth is a distinct kink in the temperature profile where it shifts to a shallow temperature gradient to the ground.</image:caption>

Urnal faceting is effectively the night portion (right side) of his diagram in which the snow surface is losing longwave radiation both night and day, while the temperature around 30 cm depth remains relatively warm.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>January 2022 at Turnagain Pass was a good example of an urnal faceting and avalanche cycle. From January 1-7 the skies were clear, the air temperature was around 0°F, and the wind was light (Schauer and others 2023). A storm on January 8-13 brought snow, wind, and avalanches releasing on the buried layer of urnal facets.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This chart shows the snow temperature at the Tincan study site at Turnagain Pass, Alaska during the January urnal faceting cycle. The vertical temperature profile (red line) shows a distinct turn in the temperature profile at 300 cm which is the snow surface. From about 300 cm to 270 cm the temperature gradient is steep—over 10°C per 10 cm—and well beyond the 1°C per 10 cm required for faceting metamorphism. At 270 cm the temperature profile kinks between the steep temperature gradient above and the shallow temperature gradient below.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Avalanche Avoidance System starts with planning your trip at home. Once at the trailhead we do a series of checks: group gear, radio, airbag, beacon, and communicating at this first decision point. Once in the backcountry, it’s an ongoing cycle of communicating with partners, observing conditions, and applying margins for safety. At the end of the day, if we want to improve decisions on future trips, debrief with yourself or partners.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Our camp was perched on a 7,500-foot bench of the Yentna Glacier, surrounded by peaks including the mighty Mount Russell (11,670 feet) at the head of the valley. Denali ranger Tucker Chenoweth calls this location Island in the Skye. His daughter is named Skye. It did feel like an island. There’s no easy escape from this island enclosed by rock walls and icefalls. We chose this place with the help of Steve Gruhn in Anchorage. Steve’s our man for adventure. Our plan A idea came from Steve, as well as our plan B. Weather during the trip was mostly light winds and clear skies. Good weather in this region typically comes with north wind, which flows hundreds of miles across the tundra, then hits the mountains where we camped. The air rises and condenses on the summits around us. It’s a rare day without clouds lurking on Mount Russell. Pilot Paul Roderick warned us about the weather in the area. Paul knows.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Phones are the new norm for navigation. At least that’s what I was starting to believe. I was more talk than action. It had been a while since I’d done any real whiteout navigation. On this day a thin, bright fog settled onto the Yentna Glacier and I started walking in a circle of vertigo. I squinted at the Gaia route on the iPhone’s washed out screen, but could see nothing. I raised my glasses in the blinding glare for a brief glimpse and was reminded that iPhones are not reliable for navigation. Not only because they are hard to read in bright conditions, but because they freeze up quickly, the screen doesn’t work in wet conditions and water can ruin them. As Elliot said, “The iPhone works when you don’t need it.” I got the job done by using the iPhone to set a bearing on my compass. The compass needle is easy to read in the glare. When the fog lifted my track was a perfect straight line from the compass bearing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>From a nearby ridge above Balu Pass at Rogers Pass we watched two people get avalanched through the rocks and down this face. We called for a rescue and began the circuitous route to the debris. I imagined the worst as I approached the debris; I didn’t bring my tourniquet! The rescue helicopter arrived minutes ahead of us. Phew! A full burial, a concussion and busted ankle. Alive, with a new perspective on life.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pro 1 avalanche course with Alaska Avalanche School at Turnagain Pass. This was my first time assessing students on a pass/fail course. The students were VERY attentive. The course gave me a renewed appreciation for full snow profiles. Although far detached from making good decisions while moving through avalanche terrain, these time-intensive pits are a valuable process for learning about snowpack and taking accurate measurements.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alagne, Italy-based guide Armin Fisher descending into the unknown in the Alaska Range. Our most useful tool on this trip was knowing, at any time, we could put skins back on to escape from dead-end descents. Armin is a career IFMGA Mountain Guide in his mid 50’s. For vacation, Armin sport climbs on the Mediterranean—that’s a highly evolved mountain guide! Armin was perhaps the most impressive guide I’ve worked with. Armin was the second career guide in his mid 50’s that I worked with this spring. Here’s what I noticed: 1) They give almost no instruction. They guide’s silently. If they do give instruction, it’s important. 2) They have nothing to prove. They’re there for the clients. The clients are long-standing friends and are treated as such. 3) Almost all of their clients are return clients. 4) They can go anywhere in the world and figure it out. 5) They find the right person in the region; the fixer. They trust the fixer and don’t micromanage the fixer.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Andrew Wexler on the summit pitch of the Aiguille du Peigne above Chamonix. We started this pitch four years before, but backed off in marginal weather. This summer, we climbed for three hours to reach this pitch. The effort was worth it. These lighting bolt cracks led to a chimney, to a down-trending crack, to a hand crack. All while looking down onto the Chamonix rooftops six thousand feet below.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Alan on the first rap off All Mixed Up. Over the years Alan and I have been in avalanche courses together, several mountaineering courses and in Jim Woodmency's mountain weather course. On this trip Alan wanted to up his ice climbing game. He was primed with unstoppable fitness and several years of experience. During the week Alan's climbing ability exploded, until he was leading most pitches.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On our last day we returned to Loch Vale Gorge. Alan lead a 35-meter ice route, then pumped laps on Mixed Emotions, which has an overhanging M5 rock traverse into WI4/5. During the afternoon we practiced lowering from plaquette mode, knot pass, climber assist, belay escape and leader rescue. During the trip we also covered some recent updates including the backside clove, load strand direct and quad anchors.  Thanks for an incredible week Alan! Good luck with your climbing goals. It would be an honor to climb with you again!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>First objective: Castleton Tower. We first climbed the Kor Ingalls rotue (III 5.9+). A grade lingering from when 5.9+ was the top the scale. The crux is a bolt-protected off-width corner plastered with slippery calcite. Way up on a tower on top of a mountain. Airy! On our second visit to Castleton highliners had rigged a 500-meter line between Castleton and the Rectory, the long tower to the left of Castleton in this photo. As we climbed, a Canadian woman set the woman's highline record.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cathy in the guano-filled third pitch of the North Chimney (III 5.9) on Castleton Tower. The crux was an off-width, sort of protected by an ancient 1/4-inch bolt. We brought a #5 Camalot, but the crack wanted a #6. Like many people, including Fred Beckey, we enjoyed the North Chimney more than the Kor Ingalls.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Guide's aperitif at the Gouter Refuge. A theme of my summer in the Alps was spending hours each day BSing with guides from around the world. Working around older, career guides is initially intimidating. It must be that it's taken me eight seasons in the Alps to become comfortable in this work environment. The reality is, to be a career guide, you have to enjoy people. Keep that in mind and every foreign guide becomes a beautiful character who wants to know your story and to talk about sport climbing in Kalymnos.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Urbi Ažman chilling at the Tête Rousse Refuge on Mont Blanc. Ten years ago Urbi and Boris Lorencic smoked past Cathy and I on Aguja Guillaumet in El Chalten, Patagonia. Over the years I've spent time working and hanging with Boris. Now I got to work and get to know Urbi, yet another kind and talented Slovenian. The next day we had an interesting experience in the wee hours, high at the Gouter Refuge. The weather was raging wind and snow. We pushed toward the summit of Mont Blanc until the clients couldn't stand upright in the wind and we returned the Gouter Refuge for coffee. One client was a successful businessman from Argentina. His business mindset couldn't comprehend why we had turned around. To him, the summit was success, drinking coffee was not. His eyebrows kept raising and he'd say, "Let's look at our options. What if...." I didn't budge from the pressure. I'd been around high profile business people before and had no tolerance for their inability to understand the difference between business and mountaineering. Urbi quietly listened to the businessman's ranting. Back home Urbi has kids and an engineering job. This brief stint of guiding was like summer camp for this Piolets d'Or-winning superhero. Urbi was itching for some excitement. After 30 minutes of the businessman's wheeling and dealing, Urbi said to the client, "You know, when we rappel in Patagonia, the wind takes the ropes vertical above our head. I will go with you for a try." And they went out into the raging storm. They got to summit and back down. The next day Urbi was content after some challenge. The client was exhausted and proud of his summit. In the client's mind he was successful. The problem was, he didn't get it. A business attitude doesn't work for mountaineering, unless you have a Slovenian superhero dragging you around. It's like climbing Everest with Sherpas who are doing 90% of the work and taking 90% of the risk. It's not mountaineering. To paraphrase climber Mark Jenkins, it's like slam dunking a basketball with a step ladder.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mont Viso rising above the Quintino Sella Refuge. Mont Viso at 12,048 feet is the highest peak in the Cottian Alps region, down near the Italian Mediterranean. Andrew Wexler, Sam Sidiqi and I had plans to climb the Matterhorn, but it was covered with snow. As a Matterhorn alternative, our buddy Dylan Taylor suggested the East Ridge of Monte Viso, which rises steeply from left to right above the hut in this photo. It snowed that night, so we ended up climbing the South Face. A nice fourth and fifth class scramble.</image:caption>

We managed one day of climbing and this foggy and rainy hike below the Tre Cimes. The distant white wall is the Cima Grande, where one of the six Alps great north faces risies 600 meters up loose and overhanging limestone. Between the walls are boards and barbed wire remnants of World War I. We then succumbed to Andrew's barrage of texts to meet in Finale.</image:caption>

Icefall is known for steep terrain and a thinner Rockies snowpack. We nailed mid-winter conditions with sun, stable powder and a fun group that also included Robert Ray and Phil Steele from Helena, Montana. Kent, a contractor from Laramie, Wyoming, organized this amazing trip and invited me. Kent and I have also toured together in the Western Chugach and Alaska Range.

After a quick shuttle from Girdwood in the cheater machine, we skied bowl after bowl of creamy pow above Sixmile Creek. We then zipped back to Girdwood. The conclusion was: we had world-class fun, the terrain is made for touring, but it would take a stable snowpack to sell this heli-touring route. Anyone game to join me for heli-touring next season? Let's do it!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Karl Birkeland ripping above Portage. In 1994, I did an internship with Karl at the Southwest Montana Avalanche Center. He patiently spent day after day with me in the field. He introduced me to snow and helped me with a project on the effect of trees on snowpack. Later he taught me about near-surface facets. Perhaps what I learned most from Karl was how to be a mentor. Even as a naive 20-something, I recognized his infinite time for my questions and his ability to explain difficult concepts. Then, I didn't see Karl for 15 years until he, and his daughter Erika, stayed with us this April. Then I learned another aspect of Karl—he's an incredibly kind guy and super fun to hang with as friends.</image:caption>

This trip was her introduction to ski mountaineering—an instant addiction. On this day we were eating Kathy Still and The Viking's sloppy seconds. For après ski, we went to the Midnight Sun, and had beers with the legends who had schralped our pow. After the second beer, we forgave Kathy and The Viking for their tracks.</image:caption>

He probably did the same on countless days this season. And for decades before that. He's not doing it for the facecramp. Nor for the instatweek. He's doing it because he loves skiing. My buddy John Sykes recently told me about his study at Montana State on skiers in avalanche terrain. He found the most active skiers are in their 50's and 60's. The ones out there every day all winter. The ones you don't hear about. You only see their lonely tracks down the proud lines.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Getting to remote is Alaska is the first obstacle. At Sportsman's Air Service at Lake Hood we checked the FAA weather cameras with Joe Schuster. Marginal weather, but we decided to get in the Super Cub and give the flight a shot. The problem was Schuster said, "It's your call." That means I would pay the bill for a botched flight. Flights to the middle of nowhere Alaska are not cheap.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We found out mountaineers are not priority at Sportsman's. This flight was taking wine-tasting caterers out to the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge. What's just out of sight in this photo are two pallets of skinned beaver carcasses, waiting to be transported to hunting lodges for bear-baiting.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Entering the Neacolas, above the Blockade Glacier and the McArthur River, riding the Super Cub like a bucking bronc in pounding wind. Our first choice landing zone wasn't happening. Pilot Ben Knapp and I turned east toward Cook Inlet. Looking for another zone. Recently, I've grown to enjoy picking base camp locations on the fly. Just looking out the window, then pointing over the pilot's shoulder and saying into the headset, "Right there!" And anyway, trips are not supposed to go as planned in Alaska. If they went as planned, it wouldn't be an adventure.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ben landed the Cub on a broad glacial ridge surrounded by numerous peaks and extruded himself from the plane. Fortunately, back at Lake Hood in Anchorage, minutes before getting on the plane, I downloaded a low-res map of the entire Neacola and Chigmit region onto my phone. When I located myself on the phone, I learned our location: Double Glacier in the Chigmit Mountains. Oh yeah!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Boys, as my wife calls us. I've been going on trips with Glenn Wilson (blue jacket) for 20 years, James Kesterson for 15 years and Paul Muscat (right) for 10 years. These trips include: Mount Baker, Denali, Mount Marcus Baker, Mount Bona, Iliamna Volcano, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Mount Logan, Mount Chamberlin, Mount Isto and now the Double Glacier. Many memories.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On this trip we climbed peaks every day. All of them with no sign of humans. I didn't even get a chance to knock down cairns. On this trip we had a lot of rain and snow. That’s the weather necessary for 4,000-foot mountains to be draped in thick glaciers.</image:caption>
