Hey I'm looking into skiing the bowl this spring and was wondering if anyone thats done it has some advice about best lines or best times to go and what its like?
 
Midweek b/c it will be shoulder to shoulder due to the lack of snow this year and shorter season the few prime Saturday's. But won't be a bad time.

Lots of asshole created slides last year on other parts of the mountain and with the low cover I personally wouldn't get too adventurous just hike and ski Tucks.
 
Prepare to do a lot of hiking, you won't be able to ski much other than the ravine. Even little headwall is getting sketchy already. The base is not what it usually is this time of year so also expect lots of exposed rocks and undermined snow from the warm temps. Last week there were 4 emergency rescues, 2 of which were helivacced off the mountain. Careful out there.
