Thinking about heading out there next week. Anyone been out recently? Blewett looks to be avoiding the freezing level changes. Thanks.

Snotel's says 36" now so getting fat for Blewett. I haven't been there for a couple of weeks but the new sits on rock-hard 12" base.

Thanks Glenn. If you head out there take some photos, please. I wish NWAC would put a site up out there...

To our surprise, the mega crust has really disintegrated.  The snotel is very accurate for the week's new. However, on my skinny skis (80mm  underfoot), and less than balanced tele technique, I hit some rocks scary hard.  Snow was really great but I just wanted to get out of there uninjured.  Fat board skiers faired better.  Expect to need ptex at the end of the day. Cold fingers, sorry no pics.

Thanks John.

Hopefully the addition of the new snow will help.  Where you skiing off of diamonhead or tronson...?

Mostly in back, wind loading potential shied us away from D-head.  Trying trees at Snoq today.  Hoping for some rapid settlement from the past few days so it isn't a complete wallow.
