FYI, corn was ripe at 1:15. You can ski care free all the way to the lake. Now is the time!
Did you get a look at any of the Colchuck couloirs?

Didn't study them, but I recall that I noticed the NBC has big gaps in the snow.

Mission Ridge = Done. Colchuck Glacier season just starting!

Were you booting until above  the boulder field?

Thanks for the report.

Are those nasty boulders still snow covered?

We were able to stay on snow from the lake, but I don't know now. Maybe if you go around to the base of Aasgard you could stay on snow without boulder hopping.

I think I missed it then. I hate that boulder field with skis on my back. If I keep doing it....
