Tim and I skied Eldorado yesterday. Road clear to trailhead, gate still locked. Snow at around 3,900 ft. Beautiful day. Glacier straight forward. Alot of snow on summit ridge still so was able to ski from the top. Ran into a guided party on the last leg of the Forbidden tour. They reported stellar conditions, with great NF skiing on the Boston Glacier and harvesting corn on the Forbidden Glacier. Skiing down was very good until tree line where it got heavier and heavier. Was able to ski till the bottom of the rock garden, but it won't last for long.
What was the approach like? I have friends from Colo looking to climb this wekend. Would this be a good 2 day ski/climb. T
