Tux 4/10 - 4/12
Easter Tux !
I've done it in the past and am about to do it again.
I will be staying in the leanto's
Anyone else headed up there that weekend?
Crowds should be smaller than the usual for a weekend, due to the holiday.

Me and another photographer/reporter gurl will be up at hermit lake, its our first time ever!
any tips would be great!
hopefully we have some of a crowd, as we need that sort of atmosphere for our footage!
we were worried hermit lake would fill up, maybe thats not such a big worry?

Hermit shelters will fill up unless the weather sux. Getting there earlier on friday is the best option.

You probably won't have much to worry about if you are already hiking up during Friday afternoon.

very interesting comment about the shelters, i was told from the AMC people at the base that those don't fill up too often, unless its a stellar weekend, we are coming saturday, but if you think we need to change that to friday please let us know, as this will require some plan shuffling asap!
was AMC misleading us at the bureau when we called in the other day?

Easter Tux
I will be headed up Friday for 2 nights with my 26 year old and 12 year old sons. We got closed out of campsites mid april last year because we got there too late on Fri. We were at the door at 5:45 am on Sat to get one night. We did get to the Summit and it was awesome. The weather doesn't look that great this weekend tho.
Anyone up for a summit sunrise on sunday?

Hi all, didn't find a newbie thread to post to first, so I'll just wade right in to the action over here...
...I've been waiting to get up to Tux again, and am thinking of Saturday. Not too into icy doom, is there any hope of the South aspects of the bowl getting soft at all with the forecast as it stands? Will be hiking up with snowboards.
If it looks too cold, we'll have to, uh, ummm...COLD-check.
between I've been lurking here for like 6 years or so and finally registered, this forum is AWESOME. =)

MAC
I am up for the sunrise at the summit, we will be staying at the lean to's as well, i wonder what is the rules about someone getting tickets for someone else grabbing tickets for people who are coming late, as members of the media we often enjoy freedoms and special access not given to the general public, maybe a call to the AMC center is definitely in order for this trip!
(i think the idea of having someone grab some tix is cool too, not sure the rules on that!)
Will post when we know more,
MAC if you want to do the sunrise thing let me know, im guessing its a boot hike up lol, and that would be a early START!!!!!!!!!

The general public gets one reservation for one warm body present at the time of issuance. Proxies have been used as stand-ins from time to time, but they must be present and savvy.
Do call the AMC, they may be receptive to the needs of the free-press
