I'm down in bend for a bit and I've got my gear with me. I was thinking of heading up South Sister tomorrow, has anyone skied it recently? Still worth it?

Plenty of snow up there still, I'd imagine even some avalanche danger given it's been snowing up there for a week. My concern would be all the new snow turning to mush when the sun comes out. It should be great in a few days when the corn cycle sets up again....

hmm, thanks for the beta. I've only got tomorrow though, so I'll probably hike up and check it out anyway.

Stick to the standard south side route from Devils Lake and you should be in good shape. Pretty safe route and most direct. You should be able to ski to the car. Have fun - I'm hoping to maybe hit it in a week or two. If it doesn't look good, you can always skin to the summit of Bachelor in less than 2 hours and get 3000 vertical.
