Anybody been up Silver Star Mtn-Silver Star glacier recently? If so, how was it? Thanks.

Eric Hoffman & co were there on Saturday - they could probably tell you conditions:

I was there on 4/24 and it was excellent conditions. There were 6 inches of powder snow on the glacier (around 6000 feet) and great corn like snow lower down.

 

But the snow is melting fast on the approach in the forest. You have to boot it for about 1000 feet until there is continues snow to skinning up. Going down in postholing through the snow was hell.

 

I'm sure after today with the warming trend things will change. But I would go no later then by this weekend.
