Snoqualmie Backcountry - Slot Couloir?

[swissman]

Has anyone been up there recently? I have a day this week-end to go mess in the hills.

Providing the avalanche forecast is ok, is it still possible to get down the slot couloir or is it just a stupid idea at this time of the year?

I don't have randonnee gear at the moment and was just going to hump on snowshoes and carry the skis.

 

BTW, if anyone's interested, I'm going solo, but a partner is always welcome (Saturday, early start, I'm located in Issaquah).

It should be fine. Might be a little thin at the top few feet.

I was up there Sunday. The snow was gloppy mush on the approach and descent. The Slot was decent, with a combination of corn and hard frozen snow. I have yet to do it with pow in it:( Have fun!
