Is anyone planning on running up through Georgetown tomorrow 4/3? Looks like there is going to be a break in the storm. Anyone interested? Wondering what the snow level is at - anyone know?

Went up on Friday, went almost to Walker and then back over to the top of Postpile before we headed back out Loon. It was warm and beautiful, but the top of the snow was slushy. Bad consitions for wheeled vehicles.

About a foot of new from the last storm series when we dug down to look. Musta been windy during or right after the storm...lotsa wierd drifts and cool wind patterns...

I'll go back in after this series of storms and let ya know how it looks.

edit: the melt hasn't started yet, but water is starting to move under the snow. Lots of holes where water crosses the trail.

Went up today, took the cat as far as Walker and then snowshoed to sluice. Weather was beautiful, snow is starting to get its melt on pretty good, but we have another cold storm tomorrow, so that will delay it some. I think the melt will start in earnest within a week after this storm as long as it's the last one (looks like it from the weather forecast).

Little Sluice today

About 45 minutes, but I'm old and fat :flipoff2:

Actually, I go pretty good, the snow was just heavy, and I went the high line to the south of the trail, which takes a bit longer. On the way out, I went from the cabin, across Spider, and picked up the high line to the south of sluice...that took maybe an hour.

One more...the Georgetown Ditch
