Jill and I arrived at noon and it was 67 degrees .Dege Peak had 4 sets of very nice ski tracks. Two folks did a skier right exit and the others skied a lower line. The Dege slopes had the €œpink€glow and good coverage. The slopes from Dege Peak to Sunrise Lodge are not ski able.  The slopes are getting bare and have the €œpink glow€. We planned to ski the easy slopes due to my stroke last year but there is very patchy snow. Hopefully, the back side of Sourdough Ridge still has coverage. It is time to put the boat in the water and catch pink salmon and crabs starting July 1st .  ;)

Zap & Jill
backside of sourdough does have coverage and 4/6 chutes go to valley floor.
most westernly section of ridge held best most continuous skiing but exit fom the bootpack on the east to ski back to lodge.

boating and fishing season begin monday, whew.
