WA state park is not relevant. This is federal land. up to $5000 fine and 6 months of jail.

Only saw 2 snomos in Wilderness but it was while we were near top of Crescent Glacier. I have a picture of 1 but it is at such a distance as to not be useful, as they were maybe 1/2 mile inside the line. They left before we got there--no trailer in lot even.

But here is the proof. Tracks all up to South Butte. Up ridge that goes to top of South Butte. High marking all over Crescent Glacier. Entire area is wildly tracked out. I wish ill will to those who did this. This link is publicly available please share anywhere relevant.

I sent a note to the GPNF over this issue and included the Google Drive link.

I got a an email reply from a (the?) Wilderness Manager, who stated that he was investigating the incident. He asked about the photos and whether I had any other information. I replied with a "sorry, no", but included a link to this thread.

Speak up if you have pictures or information!

Anybody actually ski Adams recently? Hoping for a conditions report.

well see what Patarero says but yes on Sunday we went. Started clear but eventually got a lenticular then clouds closed all around. down low in the AM it was a supportive crust that if you stomped it would break, I worried about skiing it later. We managed top of Pikers but it was unpleasant, nearly white out even though more wind deposition powder and fresh snow was falling. But it wasn't uniform with patchy bits of ice here and there. best turns of the day possibly from upper LC to top of Crescent Glacier--just the most consistent snow there. Crescent and below was incredibly heavy slush, and rutted with deep snomo tracks.

Thanks! Sounds like it hasn't quite gone into the corn cycle yet. Might have to head elsewhere.

Watching forecast freezing levels is a good way to know when corn will ripen. My number for Adams would be roughly equivalent to summit elevation. Works for any mountain.
