I was up the trail today. Its thin. Hiked out with skis on my back. Chutes above treeline aren't continuous. Probably could find a somewhat decent line.

Wow...glad I got scared off by the forecast and didn't end up going! Surprised about the lack of snow cover in the trees. Loveland (only a couple miles away) is still reporting over 5 feet at mid-mountain.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

Are you talking about the big slide path on Mt. Bethel?
