Recon into valley just north of Colchuck lk

[Bug]

I am looking for someone interested in a recon/ski trip into the valley above the log bridge (Mountaineer crk). It is the hanging valley just NorthEast of Colchuck lk. I am going overnight with skiis hoping to find powder in that north bowl.

There may even be some ice.

I am available Thursday-Sunday.

 

If you have any idea how conditions are up around Colchuck, that would be helpful.

Looking at the elevated freezing levels and the lack of precip over here, I would say there may be some gnarly crust skiing for this weekend.

Thanks for the information. Did the freezing levels get above 5500?

If you do get up there, post some photos of the lake.

Damn global warming.
