Just looking to go out and do something. Only thing on my radar is an ascent of Thunder Mountain VIA the south ridge, either from icehouse Canyon, or Big Butch Gulch up Lightning Couloir (260m up to AI2), or something interesting.

Anyone have any ideas?

How deep was the coverage, would it have melted now towards the flats?

it was all powder, sometimes 1 1/2 ft deep. the bottom was in excellent condition. my guess is that sunday would be the last day to ski it. there was 1 rock drop about 5 ft high. and the snow cover over that will probly be gone. there are a couble creek crossings and little frozen pools towards the top. its been 40*+ up there the past 2 days so.....

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE CONDITIONS FOR THE BALDY BOWL???

my family and i reserved i the San Antonio Ski Hut from the 2nd-3rd and we are looking forward to snowboarding it and maybe even pulling out the "Ziffy Womper" tobagan.

Either Baldy Bowl with Travis... or San Antonio Ridge from Heaton, if anyone wants to go.
