Post The way it looked on 10/25

Check out the Headwall shots, too crunchy for my skis, but I'll be there on the 16th to climb that stuff.

Sadly, that was before they recieved 4.59 inches of rain. I guess thats good if you into ice climbing. Not good for skiing

Not too soon I hope. Climbers love this place too, but their window of opportunity is just 3-4 weeks. A lot of snow in early November wipes out the climbing, and as happened last year can kill a few.

I count myself extra lucky in that I get three frozen seasons in Tucks. Ice climbing, Winter Skiing and spring skiing.....there's better summer climbing in Huntington Ravine, or I'd probably get four seasons in Tucks.

Hmmm. I think we still need some more before it's skiable. My edges may be sharp but they're not THAT sharp!

Yesterday, on the chat, "Zack" gave us this pic of the Headwall (Chute in particular) taken on oct 25.

Really amazing, this was surely skiable !

Thanks Zack !
