no i think that will be too late. Its snowing now but it will be back to spring conditions. I skied it 2 weeks ago and it was perfect spring conditions. The 21st sounds perfect.

so whats the deal when you go up there.I know that you park and then hike up to the base area but how long does that take? and then can you leave some stuff that you dont have to carry when you hike or would somebody probably snag it?

its about a 2 hour hike to the bowl if you are going at a good pace. If ur in bad shape and take breaks it will be longer. I have never heard of anything being taken from there. From the bowl it takes about an hour to hike to the top of the bowl.

I went up their in early march. I made the best run of my life their. My friend were hiking up the bowl and when we were ready to strap in, we realized that it was to steep to strap in. we ended up digging a hole to make a flat surface and then strapped in. when you make turns on something that steep, you get air. its so fun.

Today was excellent. The right gully and right head wall were the best. People were sliding out in the bowl.
