Drove down Friday night aiming for NFNWR. Parked at Killen Creek CG and started up.
Camped around 1 am, and woke up to see 2 cliff bands where the ski line is meant to be at around 9000 ft.
Pictures to come when I get them uploaded.
I was kind of surprised that it was gone so early -- a week ago people couldn't drive to the trailhead and the South side seems to have snow.
Hiked in shoes to high camp and skied a few short fun shots around high camp and the lake and came back out.
Met Dave who had skied the diamond coming off the north ridge. Looked like fun!
Anyone seen NF Shuksan lately?
