Skyscraper was the play for the weekend.
If you go, you need to enter either in the Middle or the North Entrance. The south entrance has about a 10 foot vertical wall and will likely result in severe injury or death if you dropped it.
A small boulder rolled through the snow field while I was standing near the bottom so keep your eyes and ears open if you ski it.
The snow goes almost all the way down to the lake.
Where can I still ski?

That sounds pretty gnarly! Is the fridge still in? Beta my buddy who did the apostles traverse recently told me it was not continuous. I know it's a couple weeks back but would love to bag this if it's in!vertical_volume wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 9:28 am I'm skiing the refrigerator on Ice Mountain Saturday.

Re: Where can I still ski?
It was continuous on July 29th, the choke was around 180 cm in width at that time and I couldn't confirm it was continuous until I was right there below the choke. I don't think it's crazy to say it's still continuous now, but surely more narrow now. I put a few photos in the conditions update I posted for it.DeclanKnies wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:28 pmThat sounds pretty gnarly! Is the fridge still in?

Re: Where can I still ski?
Went to the Park on Saturday to check out Tyndall. It is certainly NOT worth the hike at this point ans its only a few hundred feet of skiing and you would need to reclimb the snow to Flattop to go back down. 9ish mile of hiking for 400 feet of skiing is not worth it in my book when Skyscraper still has a lot of snow.
One of the park rangers said that people were still skiing Andrews but I did not go over there to check it out.
