Mt. Silverheels Conditions

Post by carson_h »

Does anyone have a conditions update for Mt. Silverheels? Specifically I'm wondering if the rib toward the summit ridge will be blown clean. This seems to be only potential avalanche terrain for this route. It looks dry and rocky in most photos, but Breck has been getting dumped on recently...

thanks!
