Gary and I dashed out of work at the tick of 5pm to gather our gear, meet Jan, and hit the 'Ridge. I held up the group with my needs for pizza and coffee, but still we were skinning up Maggies by 6:15. Took a great run down the Bowling Alley then hit "Lost and Found" and skinned out of Lost Bowl in the outrageous alpenglow. After an unfestive swig of whiskey, we took another fantastic run down Bowling Alley and endured a miserable S. facing run of breakable crust back to the car.

Great weekday outing.

Not a lot to add to Tyler's TR, the pictures do a better job of telling the story.

Glad the road closure didn't end up totally harshing your May powder mellow ;)
