Saw a report on FB that people went up Skywalker the other day, it seems to be holding up. Just make sure to rise the rukus at the fully packed TH so as to wake everybody up :roll:

But yeah, the last decent freeze seemed to have happened June 3&4. But there's a slight chance we may get one tonight

I'd agree and say snow climbing season is done.
Patience!

I went up the Loft to Mt. Meeker today. It was great- crunchy, consolidated snow at 6 AM on the way up, wet snow for plunge-stepping on the way down at 10 AM. There was definitely a freeze last night above 12,000 feet on Longs/Mt. Meeker. I'll post a full conditions report later.
