Re Left Gully and Hillmans: expect wind scouring on those lines. These can sometimes be safer lines when others are too wind loaded, but you'll be wanting warm temps to soften the old surface.

There was new snow on Sunday. It wouldn't have bonded when it fell and blew in, but I'd expect it to settle rapidly (and be destroyed by some weekday locals and nonlocals such as yours truly) before Saturday.

Very bottom of Sherbie is closed... any idea how long the rest of it will hold out? Last year it stick around half way till around the second week in may.

just an FYI about the SHERBIE, it is not going to last very long, it is already pure junk as it is, people are beating it all up, and t he cover is thin, and where it is covered its PURE ICE, not sure what others have to say, the ravine itself is still holding up, if all goes well our crew will be there saturday, hope everyone is having FUN!

Keep an eye on the forecast for Saturday. Last I saw temp forecasts were dropping and perhaps some precip coming in. May be fairly firm up top on Saturday... Still Tuesday I realize but just say'n.
