bakedpow Active member Sep 29, 2011 #1 I have been thinking about taking a trip up to Heliotrope ridge in late October early November and was just wondering if anyone has done this trip? Or if you have any other recommendations for good early season skin trips. Thanks WA

bakedpow Active member Oct 8, 2011 #15 There is a possibility that we may be able to do this wednesday depending on the snow level of this storm coming in. I will be going if the snow level cooperates. And again the following weekend if it stays cool enough.
