Volcanogrrl, Jim is right as I think you already know. There are two outfits working out of the Wallowas - Wing Ridge Tours (who I now think you are going with) and Wallowa Alpine Huts (WAH). Check out these websites:
www.wingski.com/index.html
or
wallowahuts.com/index.html
Both outfits give an abundance of info on their websites and both give an equipment list (or gear list) to let you know what to expect. Use these lists along with the info you've gathered from this website to form your own gear list. Whether with Roger (Wing Ridge Tours) or Connelly (WAH) either one will meet the morning of your trip to go over gear lists, fill you in on the avi conditions and answer any other questions you might have.
Have a great trip!

Thanks! yeah, this'll be awesome. Our trip is with Wing Ridge. I definitely got a lot out of this forum for my own packing -- zicam and earplugs are both probably life-savers!

Just got back from a week at Sorcerer lodge (same place as Lowell, I think) -- you're in for a treat. Which hut are you going to? PM me if you'd like a list of gear that I pushed out to our group before we went.
Beer is also critical. If you're flying out of Golden or Revelstoke, most of the helis you'll be on can easily fit a pony keg from the Mt Begbie Brewery in Revelstoke. They outfit a lot of heli trips and they'll set you up with the right shape keg for it. Delicious brew...

I'd also add that I took an entire base/edge tuning and repair kit, expecting not to use it. Ended up doing a full (modified) hot wax and repairing several core shots and some edge damage, so it's worth having all the tools available.
