Still going
Done now. And already looks like it is melting fast compared to what was visible this morning on the cam. Looks like the people hiking or taking foliage rides are loving it though...seems to be people taking photos and selfies with the snow in the background any time I peak at the cam!

I was up there this morning and didn't see it, but the top of Skye was kinda fogged in. North Ridge definitely didnt run. I was told they weren't going to at all. World Cup or no Cup there is no point it is all going to melt next week.

Agreed, was surprised to even see it on the cam yesterday morning. Kind of wonder if they were testing out different/new guns on one of the runs just to see in marginal conditions a comparison.

I looked at the cam around the same time you said they were blowing snow up there and did not see any snow blowing. Clouds were passing by very quickly and they looked like snow blowing. I have heard nothing of them blowing snow on Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Maybe that was it the , just cloud. Sure did look like fun plume but direction and cam distance may have just given an illusion.

Was up today, def nothing but the first go on SS. Just a dusting left on Rime. Skier and border were hiking up to make 20 feet of grass turns. I'll never get that.

Guns and hoses out from K1 down GN all the way to the Killink intersection. Downdraft Headwall, Upper Double Dip, Rime, Reason and East Fall, Lower Ridge Run and Killink.

Lots of new valve houses around the hill.

Hearing rumors of firing back up early next week with opening in mind. Cold weather arrives Tuesday.

Are these anything? (More so to the right) Seem pretty open and would be easy to access, although the lines on the right seem to go into a drainage.

There is lots of Backcountry around K but there are also lots of deadends. Be prepared to spend a night, and remember cellular coverage around K sucks, and if you do get through and need rescue you will be charged for it.

Better have skins/split board. The mountains are still very cold and lonely at night.
Yup I do. Don't know if I'll get there this year but just wondering. Why do you mention the night? Are the ski patrollers especially harsh when it comes to out of bounds? If you mean going on an overnight expedition or something, I was just thinking I could lap that area, skin up in 3 or 4 times depending on how long it takes, so I wouldn't need to spend the night or anything.

He is saying a lot of people have gotten lost down there and have had to spend the night. I can see why you don’t smoke weed.
