Bowl conditions for 5/11?

[ski4food]

My son and I are heading up tomorrow and are looking for some suggestions on the best routes... I understand the lip is undermined... how about left gully (is the lip still intact?) and left chute? Or are we better off spending the day at Hillmans?

I have been going through the reports but have not seen anything current on the bowl area...

Thanks

left gully definitely still in, chute probably too although the line is more exposed

i'm curious about the chute variation on lookers right... that was looking like it might have been still doable last week with some hopefully minor crevasse navigation issues (NOT for the faint hearted!)... has anyone done it this late in the season?

Thanks. What a great day ("Does anyone here have a mother?"). Two runs off the top of left gully - great snow, great weather. Sherburne is probably going to close tomorrow. It was barely skiable today. two or 3 100 foot sections that had to be walked, plus a stream to cross via a log to get back on the trail.
