Me and chmnyboy enjoyed excellent corn skiing on the lower Wy'East (and into upper Heather Canyon) today.  It was getting ripe quick by 10:30 AM.

If it stays sunny I would only expect it to get better over the next couple days.









Cool.
Climbed Wy'East 2 weeks ago on bullet-proof ice, I was thinking 1 slip & you'd go a long way.
Interestingly, when the weird, wind-blown ice crystal formations melted off at their bases around 9AM, the gullys on the south side were all running with rivers of ice-cubes., which sounded just like water dripping....truth stranger than fiction...anyway.....I'm rambling........

Must have been a rip-roaring ride! Great!

'tis the season. great weather, great corn, acceptable company

Seconded.

Your photos are not viewable by the general public (or at least not by me). I think you need to change the albums from private to public to fix that, although I don't know any specifics since I host my photos on my own website. The photos currently look like this:

Thanks for the heads up Amar.  I finished editing the photos and changed the Picasa album they are hosted in.  Speaking which, full res photos (including some from our trip to the Illumination Saddle the day previous) can be found HERE.

Have fun in Ireland Brian, sounds like a great opportunity!
