What an excellent page! You know this mountain very well. But it's interesting, why is the east bowl closed? Because of tragedies? I went there on a ski tour Sunday, and didn't see anything about a closure...
Sorry I didn't bring a camera, otherwise I'd add some pics.
MVS, as far as I remember the closure of the east bowl is due to a pair of eagles nesting there since a while ago. I remember they closed it at least 20 years ago. But what is going on recently, or the terms for the closure today, I don't know.

Re: Needs PhotosCharles, can you help me out with the photos? You might live closer to the Scheinberg.
Thaks for the vote.

Re: east bowl closureAh okay. Maybe it's open now, because the modern guidebook didn't mention it, and there were no signs at the trailhead. Merry Christmas!
