I started the day by putting my America The Beautiful Senior Pass on the dash of the car. Thank you to Jim Oker and "heretic" in my May 14-15 Alpental trip report for mentioning the right pass to use (not the Discover Pass) without getting a warning..
The gate is open, BUT the sign said "no vehicles allowed". So I parked near the bridge and started skinning near the base of the Sessel lift. I noticed a group climbing under the Armstrong lift along the trees. Coverage is shrinking and the lower 100-200' is showing more rocks than a few days ago. I again met Jim Heber there, and we climbed and skinned the Lower International trail. Still great coverage and it always feels good to be out on my skis.
