^ Nice, I'm thinking about doing that Sunday. Nights are warm enough now that maybe the boilerplate will soften up.
I'll be up there around 9ish blue pants, orange arm olive green Patagonia jacket let me know or yell at me.Quote:

Some fun turns yesterday with 406. Can't wait to go again soon.
SW aspect of Telegraph was fun today. Boot toe penetration varied from only 1" to a few inches most places, so had to kick steps for my buddy in snowboard boots. Coverage was great, the ski down was fantastic. Creamy smooth outside of the shadows.
The NW chutes were firm and some had rockfall debris, too spicy for me in current condition.
really fun corn conditions on baldy sat. super hot, hit it early.

^^^summit around 9 am(based on sun location)? Such a fun one, don't think I will make it this year unless we get another dump.
I finally got out for some SoCal backcountry skiing last Saturday, March 11th. Joined sticksplitman for a bike up ACH to the base of Throop:

Melting fast, but should be good out there the next couple weekends. Seemed like north facing slopes with about 1 hour of sun on them skied the best. Hopefully we get some more snow and April is also good.

Or suggestions for somewhere else? Baldy Bowl is an option. Thinking BP in the trees on north aspects might be pretty icy, and the sun might be cooking the chutes.
Will be up at Baden tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up? Then possibly throop Sunday!!!!

Throop in 2001. Filmed on floppy disk.
Meeting SSM for Throop on Sunday, looks like we'll have a group of five so far.
