I'll be going sunday, I'll let you know how it pans out if no one updates prior.
Was at brohm today. Amazing weather. Conditions looked deceivingly safe. All of us hit something throughout the day. Depth is from 3-4ft.

Me and 2 buddies rode at Brandywine today.. Made into the alpine no problem.... 4' of snow tons of pow in alpine area. We were going to go down to Grizzly lake but was getting late. None of us hit anything at all.. needs a bit more snow but that will happin this week.. Better conditions i think this year than last at this time.. We were all impressed.....

ya it suckkkked bad
ice cap conditions
We rode up rutherford yesterday.
The road in was in good condition for not being groomed. We found easy travel to the gas drop and beyond. there was a couple of fairly straightforward creek crossings and big slide debris to negotiate at the bottom of the first glacier.
We found snow conditions to be quite wind affected, but still enjoyable.
One thing to consider was the amount of natural avalanche activity we noticed, especially on north aspects, it was surprising to see how far these avalanches ran even on very low angle terrain.
I would be weary of riding up any steeper slopes that have not slid yet, the potential of triggering a slide seems very possible if you hit that "sweet spot"

Not Brandywine but I did ride Sproatt yesterday and it was about 10-15" of fresh in most places. All the ground we covered (except for the trail ride in) was unmarked.

Great ride on the Cap yesterday, but what's going on with the parking lot? Is the club going to plow before Christmas? Pretty tough getting around in there. Grooming would be nice too, but maybe it's still a little thin?
