Yep, today’s the last day and it’s looking good out there. The mountain got tracked out pretty good yesterday, but there are still a few zones that were untouched. Patrol didn’t let us up Granite Chief Peak yesterday nor did they allow us to hike up The Palisades. The sun did come out yesterday afternoon and it’s effects were strong. There’s a good chance that the snow on GCP and The Palisades is cooked and crusted today, but maybe that snow is still good.

The ‘sades did look kinda icy yesterday resulting from the north wind that was blasting the face of ‘em. Which also means that the hike is icy which would keep patrol from letting us hike it from Headwall. Maybe they’ll let us hike it from Gold Coast?
