KirkW Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yesterday, fellow CC'er Water and myself, decided to inspect the cornfields on Diamond. We parked on 2149 approx 1+ mile from Pioneer Gulch TH. Skinned, booted, dirt skied rd to TH but found the forest absent of any snow requiring more boot work. Donned skins at approx 6k. Conditions on upper mtn were perfect for skinning on the way up and the bowl was in hero condition. I still went over my tips once anyway. Trees were mush and several south facing slopes were so deep in slush that traversing was nearly impossible. We hunted the stems and seeds down to 5k before giving up the dream and booting it out to the rd and skiing (mostly) back to the vehicle. Looks like this system is dropping some new snow up there but the base in the trees at Pioneer Gulch was zero before this storm so assume a boot pack to get things started if you go. An excellent day out. Some pics...
