Nicer than expected scramble. 2.5 hours car to car via Yodelin and PCT.

Tye and Sky
Started from the Skyline Lake TH. At first I accidentally parked in the Stevens Pass employee parking without even knowing. They asked me to move after finding out that I didn't actually work there. The trail to the lake was completely packed and some spikes would have been nice to have here. Past the lake it was all snowshoeing on great snow. The ridge up Tye was a bit airy in the first section but overall not bad. Sky looks a bit intimidating from the summit of Tye, but it really is not that bad. Circling around the east side of Sky gave easy access to the ridge to the summit. A great snowshoeing trip if you are not looking for something not too challenging.

Thank you, Redwic!
A beautiful blue bird day with 360 degree views.

Great destination!
There were low avalanche conditions, which was good due to the large amount of open slopes for the final ~350' to the summit. We used the shorter "EastKing" approach from Skyline Lake rather than the eastern approach from Yodelin. The weather and views were some of the best I have experienced since early October. Highly recommended summit destination for Winter snowshoeing.

Snowy
It was fun with the EK going up this one, just wish I had better batteries for my camera.

Snowy and Windy
It was snowy and windy but I am glad to get this summit. I have been wanting to do this since October when I did Skyline RIdge and Sky Mountain.
