Pros: Solid crust on Earl, the corn is in ripe perfection. Crystal clear day.
Cons: One will need to do more climbing up the tree this year to get this ripe fruit.
Standard spot at 2900' on North Fork road has heavy coverage. Upon returning, one ossamamobile had gotten stuck trying to push past this point. Non continual but heavy coverage of Beverly road, along with fallen tree, will probably not allow standard vehicle access for two weeks, with average weather, to that TH. The standard creek crossing is very sporting. One cannot ski down the creek without de-skiing on the way out. Since creek in full force, it added additional fun. One group of skiers had turned around eschewing the excitment. Startup creek may be other option.
Stuart appears to have great coverage, even up to summit. Long approach but much reward.
