Forbidden Couloir Conditions

Hey all...anyone have a recent bead on the condition of the couloir access to Forbidden's West Ridge? Thinking of taking an alpine novice out but only if the couloir is in good shape. As always, thanks in advance!

 

Cheers,

The couloir is OK right now, but not for long. There is a section with a steep traverse over a bad runout and a fairly narrow snow bridge just as you enter the couloir. Above that it is cruiser up to the scramble section to the ridge.
