Teh Phuzzy Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Headed up that way for some good views and see if I can get up Yoran this time; since it shouldn't be raining... I am curious about the snow on Diamond, levels and such. I was on MSH last weekend and if it was like that, there is not need to trek the 'pons in since it was really soft. Thanks for any info! ~Adam Quote
JoeR Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) I was out there last week, half a mile or so up vivian lake TH the snow started. Snow was well consolidated but soft, perfect boots snow. Plenty of melt pools and such, skeeters were very numerous and large, bring XXX bug dope and maybe a face net. Expect to be mobbed from the TH up. Edited August 11, 2011 by JoeR Quote
caverpilot Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Spent 7/4 weekend up there. Early morning of the 4th we needed crampons, afternoon of the 3rd we did not. If I was going back again to get non-slushy runs, I'd take the crampons. I was in Oakridge last week and it looks like the northwest bowl is still in but the ridges are largely bare. THE MOSQUITOES ARE HORRENDOUS!!!!! Still need to post the TR from 7/4, but here's mine from two weeks earlier: Diamond Peak TR 6/2011 Quote
