We were in Icehouse Canyon and saw the chopper. The bowl did not look to be in shape. Icehouse Canyon was very icy.


I agree. Coverage looked way too thin and too much dirt was showing. The north facing side was ok but that only gets you to about 9k.

Any good snow coverage with the rain last weekend? Looking to make a trip up the bowl but just waiting for the snow.

Pretty sure there is good coverage after this latest storm. Don't know if it will last through the weekend though.

It looks good from a distance (in OC). I'm planning to give it a go this weekend.

Not much snow in The Bowl today. A friend and I climbed a snow chute to the far right (out of frame), and glissaded down the snowfield on the left.
The upcoming storm (Tues./Wed.) is forecast to dump 2-3ft.

I was up there Saturday as well. Didn't bother trying to climb the bowl. Way too crappy.
