It was one of the most memorable of ski trips for me and only made me crave more.  So, this year, I was able to rally my friend Pam to join me for another PNW adventure.  I will be meeting her soon to ski Lassen Peak, then hopefully on to Shasta and other volcanoes north of there.  <\/p>\n<p>Some of the PNW volcanoes are covered in glaciers to varying degrees.  Although I am not sure of the exact routes or even exactly which peaks we will find ourselves on the top of, it&#8217;s best to be prepared for all kinds of travel.  Traveling across glaciers requires a certain set of skills that we don&#8217;t have much opportunity to practice here in Colorado.  So, I prepared the best way that I could- I read books.  My favorite one is this:<br \/>\n<iframe frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border:0px\" src=\"http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=lGeadHgrMBQC&#038;lpg=PP1&#038;pg=PP1&#038;output=embed\" width=500 height=500><\/iframe\n\nOn a \"down-day\" I practiced glacier travel techniques with my friend Jenny.\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/DSCN5606jen-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DSCN5606jen\" width=\"662\" height=\"496\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/DSCN5606jen-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/DSCN5606jen-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Practicing self-arresting is always good.  But when you know you could be responsible to hold a crevasse fall of an entire rope line, it is essential.  So, Frank and I refreshed our skills by watching this video:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LM3xLshmNnk\" frameborder=\"0\"
