This is the time of year when I review notes I've collected during the past 12 months and update the chronologies on my ski history website:
http://www.alpenglow.org/ski-history/
I'm also continuing to update the Northwest Mountaineering Journal new route "inbox" on the following page:
http://www.alpenglow.org/nwmj/inbox.html
The NWMJ inbox now has 156 candidate routes awaiting publication in a future issue of the journal. The routes have not been fully vetted by editors, so the list may change eventually.
Hopefully we'll find a way to publish short reports of these routes in NWMJ when someone has more time to devote to it. For now, the raw list is a handy reference.
Most of the new routes I've posted were completed in 2014. But a few earlier routes have come to light. These include:
1999, Mt Rainier, Fuhrer Thumb ski descent
1999, Mt Garfield, West Peak, Preiss route
2004, Bears Breast Mtn, SE mega-slab
2011, Colchuck Balanced Rock, "Honey Badger"
2011, Mt Stuart, "Gorillas Direct"
2011, Kangaroo Tower, "Captain Kangaroo"
2013, Argonaut Peak, NW Buttress (FWA)
If you find errors or know of unreported routes that are missing from the list, feel free to drop me a line (lowell.skoog@alpenglow.org) or post something here.
Thanks!

Most of the new routes I've posted were completed in 2018. But a previously unreported ski traverse from the Canadian border to near Lake Wenatchee was completed by Peter Dale and Aaron Mainer in April-May 2016.
