we we're still able to ski on and off the lifts, but just barely! until the next snow, you will probably have to walk off in the tunnel exit and onto the snow-field, and again, i guess, at mid-way and down low. Personally, i wouldn't go back down until it snows again....I also have a question about posting pics. How would i post with my reports, pictures located in "my briefcase" on my hard-drive? thanks for any info.. toby.
maybe we should just party all night, wait for the sun to start up and then head for the hills Ê;D ;D
But if we wait for the sun to come up it will be too late - this ain't summer anymore!
Ok, I'm becoming more interested. Someone I know who will be doing their October turns in South America just commented to me that conditions out there (ie backcountry) are "dangerous", with the "limestone snow" and no new. But I've mana...
Just think an early morning road trip, just like those ol college days, maybe we should just party all night, wait for the sun to start up and then head for the hills ;D ;D Then again, I think age has something to do with that.
Charles, it's not to hard to take the skis off, course you could always put some skins on them and just skin over the dirt, only one tricky part in doing that, is getting off at the top, that takes a little practice.
What time would you be planning on leaving on Sunday morning?

Reeeeeeeeely Early :)
I don't know about that walk on/off part - so that means doing the skis off/on routine for each lift ride? Hmmmm...you see, I'm used to those waxless skis and don't normally take them off until the end of the day! Maybe Toby can tell us more about how this works?

Mad Dog and the Roboman are startin' to make noises about goin' there this Sunday. http://www.timberlinelodge.com/conditions/forecast.asp Anybody else?
Thanks for the info, Andy. I have been wondering if there was any significant new snow up there. How deep was the new snow where you skied ("skier's right above Pebble Creek") - just a few inches?
Sounds like we really need another good storm before there will be any extensive skiing on anything but nasty old snow?
