Anyone interested in trying one of the couloirs on North Peak next Monday? The pics in the Lundy Canyon thread look pretty good. Send me a PM if interested.

I'll check back with ya after (Fridayish) this wet & cold "Slider" comes through.

Latest forecast is slowing it down considerably thus increasing the QPF of 1-1.5" in the Central Eastern Sierra.

This just released:

If it slows down even more, could produce some good snow accumulation of up to 18-24" above 9K'.

Cross yur finger it sloooooooooows way down!!!
