Anyone have recent information on snow conditions in the Palisades? Specifically, I'm doing the Thunderbolt to Sill traverse and am wondering what conditions are like in the couloirs on Thunderbolt.

The snow's annoying, but there's no need for crampons or axe in SW chute #1 as of last week. Photos here.

Any idea about the routes on the north side?

Does anybody have any current conditions on the Underhill couloir?
