Things have held up pretty nicely. Some creeks are starting to show but not a problem yet. Heading up tomorrow. I’ll post some pics and a little info after tomorrows trip.

You’re right, should have been a little more specific. Boundary Peak Nevada.

Temps have been good lately to produce that corn. Went yesterday and scored on Morning Dew aka Sun Bowl. Exits are still manageable down lower but starting to show the effects of another dry January. We also headed over to the backside of Brokeoff (west side) to see what it was like. Bullet proof would be the best term for that. We new better but…[Read more]

Guessing not a whole lot of ya have done this? Any ways heading up the end of march. Little worried now since the snow has been avoiding us here lately. Thanks in advance for any info!

Dec 26th. Snow is firm. Their are pockets of some descent snow about 5-8in deep in the areas protected from the cold east wind. We rode “The Nose” area today and found some Ice and some fun edge-able and slash-able pockets. Didn’t go up to the ridge today, as it looked very windy. West Aspects could be money right now in the Brokeoff area!

Dec 21st! Happy first day of winter! The rain has started at the park. Snow is soft, wet and heavy. Looking at the future temps I’d say things are going to firm up and probably ice up. Maybe a storm on the 24th for a few inches of snow to freshen things up.

Went up on Dec 18th! Scored big time good pow all the way from peak to parking lot! Stability was fairly consistent with the only activity around the 7300 foot mark. Slab formation in an open steep face below tree line. Pow was killer and the skin tracks are in!

Dec 13th conditions were great! Little melt freeze hitting the lower typical spot but good cold snow above 8000′!! Seemed really stable but played low angle and trees since it is new snow! With the incoming storms and temps it should stay good!

March 16 2014. Current look at the conditions up at Lassen. Anything with a N-NW-NE-E Aspect was Icy as all hell! S-SE-SW-W Was great up above 7500 ft! Below was very wet snow up to a foot deep in areas. Dillers is loosing snow quick in the coolie but was still fun! If you’re heading up soon make sure ya bring the warm…[Read more]

I would be way down for getting a group together one day! I live about 35 min from the SW visitor center so anytime really works for me! The sooner the better I’d say while looking at the snow pack and the long range forecast. I’m usually up there solo so having a group would be nice! There is a line off the north side of Brokeoff I’ve been…[Read more]

As your looking at your pic the lookers right ridge line is the best I have found. You follow the road out of the visitors center and also follow birthday party(the route you took to ridge lakes) as the trail to ridge lakes starts to side hill about a half mile would be left on your hike to lakes. Follow the right fork of the drainage and as your…[Read more]

I found the goods on Dillers south bowl!! It was late afternoon and plenty of sun had found its way there. Looks like you went up to the no name peak 8662 right above ridge lakes and rode that north aspect. That gets a lot of people play also and I could expect that wasn’t the best conditions. If you can give me 24 hours notice I can make it up…[Read more]

I was up there on Saturday and it was awesome corn snow!! No coverage issues and stability is great! Let me know what days ya plan going. I’ll either go tomorrow or Thursday.
