Was up there this afternoon. We punched trail through about a foot on the upper part of the road and didnt even go up to the lake. Avy conditions were pretty unstable and with that reactive hore layer and lots of wind loading we didnt want to risk it and also we had way to much fun in the trees :) like i said there is lots of wind loading making it about 2ft in the trees. I did spot a pretty decent size avalanche come off the high cliff section on the left side the valley just after the bridge. Conditions are still changing rapidly and will likely change alot before the 28th. Shoot me a pm if your looking for people to ride with.

Gorman is generally better left till after the new year. Lots of HUGE landmines in there.

Was up at Gorman Thursday and Friday the 26th and 27th. Was also there last year at same time with about ten feet more snow. Snowing earlier today and tough to see. No way over the crest too Lang Creek. If it keeps snowing it will help!
