Hey first just wanted to say hi to everyone at the website being a new guy here. I've never riden the revine before but friends and this website have gotten me psyched about it. I'm thinking of makin a trip out there on Sunday april 13 with another friend who hasnt riden it before. Intellicast seems to be predicting windy conditions, and it seems as tho saturdays weather might mess with the snow. I'm not sure if that means its not worth a 6hr ride from Syracuse NY (thats right the ncaa b-ball national champs!)or if it means we're gonna have to wear extra clothes and be more careful with our footing. Also kinda concerned about the last post about avi equipment. Is it something I need to have and know how to use this time of year? Any insight about the conditions, or any other tips would be appreciated.

It doesnt seem that avi danger is too bad right now but that could change with a little snow and wind.
I'd be more worried about crevasses and falling ice and rock..
