i'll be in whis on friday and hopefully through the weekend. if anyone wants to shred, give me a shout.
 
I pretty much have no choice but to go up on friday. Coming down same day though.
 
Go to ruby bowl it's the best for untracked powder... hard to get to because of the rocks on the path down but it's well worth it
 
How early was spanky's accessible? Also did they open lakeside at any point? I'm pretty fucking excited for friday.
 
80% of the time it's open as soon as the glacier chair is open.... Witch on a powder day can be hours but it's best to wait at the glacier chair even if it's a hour or 2 wait, because it's always worth it when you're first up. Now for spanky's they open the glacier chair after the safety patrol skis every run up there and gives a all clear so being Fridays a powder day it will open around 10 11 ish.
 
Yeah I know, what time was G-chair open though. Given all the avy stuff this year they've been super cautious.
 
10-ish. I was not paying much attention though. Didn't wait for it to open got up just after open and got deeep fresh. Baggers/staircase tree laps were too good.
 
was anybody else up there in the glacier line up on saturday morning? i'm claiming first chair up. it was the greatest run this season.
