Chute Slaying on Sourdough Ridge 6/23-24

This was funny - watch out for Zap!

At this point, I am leaning towards Sunday, as people won't be in a hurry.

Cheers

Current GFS model has precip at Sunrise from ~9:30am-3pm Sat, then dry through the night. Next precip arrives Sunday about 11:30am. Weak rainshadow may give some protection through the afternoon.  Dries out again after 9pm Sunday.

If models match reality, driest skiing may be Saturday evening? Pros call for isolated thunderboomers; watch out for Zap!
Good hunting! I'm waiting out the weekend rain at work, saving up for sunshine.

Charlie - thanks for doing that.

Certainly a good reason to put off the Chutefest activities to the following weekend.
Heartfelt condolences to Nick Hall's friends loved ones and fellow NPS employee's.

Looks like road opened today?
