When to go this year??

[DMac]

With all the snow we've had this year, does anyone know when the best time to head up will be? I'm thinking the end of April might be nice, but I've only gone up once before (last year--very different conditions), so I'm far from experienced.

Thanks for any input.

go now! It was great the past two weekends (I went up last weekend), but the snow's melting with all this warm weather. Can't ski all the way to the parking lot anymore. Up in the bowl, a crevasse is opening up on the right side. But there's plenty of snow everywhere else.
