Ran 10.5 miles yesterday in the rain. Went up a ridge with the wind blowing the clouds along it. Super awesome. The cold is such a positive motivator.

Anywho, looks like this Tuesday-Wednesday weather window will shut on schedule. I know this because I am a super weather science master, with decades of training.

Should be clearing up on Monday. Consolidated by... I'm guessing (poorly)... Thursday? At least a bit. Two layers. How dry was this last snowfall? The next one is supposed to have a higher water content, I've heard.

Anyone been up around Baldy lately?

Excellent! Was it pretty light, or wet snow?

Is anyone going to attempt Baldy via the Ski Hut Trail on Sunday?  What do you guys think?  Or is it too early for crampons/axe and too dangerous for bare boots/poles?

Thank you.
