It continued to be as good on Saturday as reports from this week indicated. Best spring skiing of the season for me (the rest has been winter skiing in spring!). Absolutely zero wind and fun snow. Only grabby down low and even then not as bad as it typically is by the time the road is open.
I was up there as well. Great day! I hiked the first 3 miles in AT boots but if I did it again I would bring shoes. Here's some pics:
Right as the snow was getting good
Looking down on Camp Sherman
Massive avy debris on the hike up

Altasnob, were you with the party that skied the chute in the west rock ridge? If so, cheers on a sweet looking line/cornice cut.
Nice shot of Sherman! Me likey. Is Interglacier starting to open up any more than it has already? (1 small crevasse, just below 8400' - 6.6.08)

Still just that one crevasse. Very obvious.
