not sure what the weather's like up there right now, but often they can't even tell the bowl's avalanched, or at least how big until the storm clears out... sounds like they're still gettin' some right now!
You've got to love the NOAA description of the current conditions: "Light Showers Snow Freezing Fog Blowing Snow and Windy"
Anyone going to Tucks in mid-late May?

If you don't have snow outside your door, what the fuck are you living there for?"

Yeah I'll be up there a couple times in May. Maybe mid-week, when were you planning on going?
It's been ages since I've done Tucks. One of these years I'll come back home in the spring to rip tucks, and show east coast how the transplants from the east coast rip it up out in Utah.
Always charging it in honor of Flyin' Ryan Hawks.
tucks tomorrow, 195 iggy FGS, rasta topsheet, yellow jacket, white helmet with samtheman on 193 big daddies...

Semester ends in a couple of weeks, my buddy's getting married on the 19th, so I'm doing stuff for that (read "spending crazy money") but I might try to get up there the 10th or 11th. That is if I can pick up some avi saftey gear before then (this will be my first time officially outside an area--besides stupid out of bounds stuff)
Soul, have fun tomorrow. I wish I could go, but work and term papers call

I'm headed in next week, any update on the conditions?
I've been reading the avalanche posts and the snowpack seems kinda crazy at the moment.
Moving at the speed of a rampaging glacier.
Tucks is sick right now, TR to follow tomorrow...
