Guardsman Report 27APR2013

[hkollie]

Snow is rotting but good sledding from the turn around to the saddle, no bare spots, 1-2 rocks.

Morning is better than afternoon. Bowls and timber routes up ridges with tracks are good.

Afternoon, adverse of track = dig into snowcone.

Thanks to a friendly forum member, i was able to tag along and stay safe. Not many sledders out. Riding solo in the am was quiet.

A few more days left...but she's receding for sure. Did see some wet avalanche evidence in the steep bowls.

Has anyone been up there lately? I'm curious if they've started plowing the road yet?

ok, based on this forum slowing down, what i'm seeing up at work and this week's forecast, I'm going to guess that Guardsman's is done soon if not already being plowed. I guess it's time to put the sled away and use the sleds at work to have fun on.

Have a good summer and hope for a great winter.

edit:
Spoke to someone who was up there yesterday. he said the road is still in good shape. better get it quick with the temps hitting mid 70's up there.
