Dead dog is a must ski, one of the best runs I've ever done. LB is right it's a bit of a jong fest, but that can be alleviated as usual by just starting super early or skiing it midweek.

Good stuff arty!
Looks like a fine day to be in the mtns. :biggrin:
anybody know the status of steven's gulch road right now?
from one of the boys at summitpost, the road is snowed in to about a 1-1/2 miles of the trailhead
ain't tooooooooooo bad.
Torrey's north face is freaking awesome - sustained pitch, fun features throughout, lotsa vert. Loved it last year and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But I'd like to get DD too - never done it. I think the GT trail is just fine for the climb up. The 4wd road is a bear though.
Artie -
did you guys need crampons on any portion of the ascent?

Based on the warmth I would imagine the conditions are far different than they were a week ago.
