Mt Adams beta?

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.

What forecast gives freezing level?

Also, don't forget terrain aspect, time of day, cloud cover, wind, and how many days since the last snowfall.

yeah that FZ level works well. Adams is going to be bombdiggity this weekend. expect a very full lot reminiscent of two weekends ago, but with less or no snomos. If there are any I suspect there will be ranger presence.

Check the instagram hashtag #almostfamousvolcanotour. The ladies are on Adams right now, they climbed Hood yesterday, Jefferson on Saturday and traversed the Sisters early last week. It might be a good way to keep up on conditions as they go.

The wind was brutal from lunch counter up today, so the snow was not fun above there, but the skiing was good below.  Neat to hear about the almost famous tour - they were cruising!  The Cold Springs parking lot is closed for the next few days for tree removal, so you have to park about a 1/3 mile below, but we didn't see anyone working up there.  Continuous snow doesn't start now until around the wilderness boundary.

good report. sorry to hear about wind, that's no fun--can make the most beautiful of days lousy.
Sunday was nice, bit windy right at pikers but less wind on the plateau and summit and below pikers--must have just been funneling through there. SW chutes skied lovely--so nice.. full coverage and a short skin over the the lip/edge of crescent bowl and a fun drop down from there back to the wilderness boundary
