Looking for Sled-ski Partners!

[WestCoast]

Hello,
I thought that I would post up to see if anyone is interested in sled access skiing in the WA state/ BC area. I am new to sledding this year, but have a few days under my belt and have got the basics down. I have a few partners with sleds but I am looking to expand my crew. I have long stretches of time off and I am super motivated to do whatever, big or small. I have a lot of mountain experience skiing big terrain, taught avy/crevasse rescue courses, big wall climber blah, blah, blah. I pretty much suck at sledding still but I am learning lots. I bought this sled to access remote ski terrain. I am used to skinning long distances for access so I'm into whatever. If you just want to mess around on a sled, I'm into it as I still have a lot to learn. Perhaps you are an experienced sledder but new to skinning; perfect we can learn from each other.
I live in Bellingham and I have a good knowledge of the mountains up here. I am down to travel around the state and into BC as well.
Hit me up! I'm pretty psyched on sled skiing!

I moved out to Seattle this year and don't have a sled yet but will for next year and would love to ride and/or ride/ski. I've been sledding all my life but am new to the mountains so we could both teach each other a thing or 2. I mainly snowboard but ski occasionally.

It's Stuart season! We'll be skiing Ulrich's Couloir in the next few weekends. PM me if you want to join. Sled skills aren't really required for that one.

Oooh sounds good, PM me details.

Let's do it! PM me your numbers. I'm headed out to Bandit peak tomorrow, but I'm free for the next week!

Stuart is pretty straight forward. Sled in early in the morning and get as far up as possible. We usually only make it to the basin below Longs Pass, because that bowl is south facing and is usually too frozen to make the final climb (which is pretty damn steep). Ski down approx. 2k' and then climb up the Cascadian Couloir to the false summit (around 4,000') and then traverse across from the false summit to the true summit (takes about 45 mins, depending on conditions). If Ulrich's is looking good, we'll click into our bindings at the summit. If not, the ski down from the false summit and Cascadian is usually corned up. Ulrich's is really steep at the top, but mellows out pretty quickly. Here's an edit from a trip we did last year: http://youtu.be/fVkMFymX4G4.
And here's a couple pics of the beast I took a few weeks ago (skied it from the false summit that day):
