mbike-ski Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Still waiting... another week...two? It just seems a bit early yet. hmmm...sherbie's half closed now with the upper section mighty thin from what i understand, sorta looking for the whole experience - not hiking back down in the mud. i've also go a small window in the next 2 weeks work/home wise Quote
Johnny Law Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 High temps will help consolidate the layers. At 70 degrees little to no sintering will occur and with the rapid temp change your looking at lots of wet slides. I'm going to bet your going to see a real upside down snowpack this weekend additionally your going to get ice falls and any open water is going to be covered up just enough to break your ankle or worse. Like you said with 100 mile an hour winds loading is going to be an issue, cross loading is going to be a concern too for all of the areas as I can't think of any lines that are out of the way (maybe GOS). Its been awhile since I've read the slab density stuff but with the increasing winds you would tend to see a real thick slab, hard slabs are hard to set off as they sinter better but when they do go they tend to propagate much further and higher above you. I've done alot of dumb shit but I would be hesistant to take a ride down dodges or left gully. Its W though so who really knows... Quote
mbike-ski Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 thanks...just hafta keep watching! Quote
Johnny Law Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 I forgot to mention that they no longer close the bowl or hillman's area so your free to do as you wish, if its a bad idea the rangers will try to talk you out of it but your still free to do whatever you like. If this is your weekend to go one option would be to go and plan on skiing but if it isn't possible hit up the summit and the snowfields up there. Much lower angle and not as long but obviously generally safer. Quote
snoskier Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 I drove up yesterday and skied today. Great day. I'll try to do a TR when I get home. Snoskier. Quote
