<br>Dave-According to the Mount Rainier Web Site they remain steadfast on the opening date....<br>Sunrise Road CLOSED. Scheduled opening June 11, 2005.<br>Maybe I will have to check if they are opening early they keep pretty close to the schedules they submit to the web site.<br><br>On a side note-I did a quick hike up there yesterday (Monday) to get hands on report. What a great afternoon hike-clear sky and great views of tracks on Inter Glacier. The chutes have really melted out! They tease you as I hiked to the chutes there was about a 4ft snow pack (hump) on the ridge then bone and rocks on the (NW)other side. I would liken the snow coverage to what it was 2 weeks after last years Chutefest. Kam-There may be no Pizza Delivery this season >. The main run above the parking lot is showing rock and is receding to the Huckleberry basin (still skiable).<br>Other chutes that normally are 30 to 40 ft wide are now down to 15 ft or less. Some of the lower Huckleberry basin areas are really melting up to the chutes. The snow levels are to be cool this week and that may help matters, but bring your rock skis when it opens. Chutes will be very select (few) and the Burroughs that I can see from Sunrise barely connect to the lower bowl. Can't make a call on Dege since I didn't do the 3 mile walk down to it.<br>JoeWe were at Summerland over the weekend. Ranger said next weekend for road opening...<br><br>-Dave R

<br>Thanks for the support Ron- I gotta believe it's gunna happen. I heard some dude turned water into wine. Maybe we can turn rocks into snow!<br>Dem gates is gunna swing wide open...<br>I did not read Matt's report. Though I feel with what I saw Memorial Day and the cool weather/snow... we have a good shot at some vittles at least some place off the ridge. Hopefullyy the rains did not wash to much of the lower part of the basins-we will see.<br>Joe... Joe promised us a line to yoyo, regardless, and the snow you experienced on Sunday should, at least, provide some minimal addition to the line that Joe intends to present to us for our skiing plesure this weekend. We believe in Joe.<br>Rock on
