Snow from the Electric Pass/Cathedral Lake trail split. Used snowshoes from there to the Cathedral amphitheatre. Couloir was in ok shape

Notice that Bill M. put Peak Condition Reports and Peak Conditions in bold red atop the menu bar AND tab on the left? Maybe for the same reason the Conditions page is not the Forum?

Thanks Darin, really appreciate it. I was expecting to need snowshoes much lower than that so that's good to hear.
