Mount Ellinor

Avalanche Chute Route, OLYMPICS (WA) -- May 27, 2007
 

It was raining lightly as we drove to the trail head, but it stopped as we arrived at the
snow patch that blocked the road short of the parking area. The trail was clear for
about a half mile, then the snow was in good shape for steps. We followed other's tracks
up the chute. The clouds parted as we got to the false summit. Time to the summit was
3 hours. Took some pictures, then glissaded, going down in half the time we took going up.
