May 2013, Ski Mountaineer Cascade Ring of Fire, need Partners

I am planning on skiing the Cascade Ring of Fire starting in early May. I will go south to north starting at Lassen and finishing (hopefully) in Early June with Mount Baker.

I currently live and ski in the Tetons where I do 15000-20000 vert a week. I consider myself an expert skier and an advanced ski mountaineer. I am very comfortable (but do not consider myself an expert) with glacier travel, crevasse rescue, moving with general mountaineering ice axe/crampons. I am open to partners for any or all of the mountains below and I am especially looking for people who are willing to come on an easy peak with me first so we can get used to each other as a partner before attempting anything too hard. (dates are HIGHLY variable due to weather and snow conditions)
