Warm greyish day today with decent snow and dry rock on Schaeffer north ridge and on Schaeffer bowl descent. Some of the big peaks look good. Lefroy, Glacier and Cathedral could be excellent with a good freeze. Grassi ridge is dry. Wenkcheman pass/Opabin pass would be good but expect some wallowing in boulder fields. Currently, Odaray would have overhead cornice concerns, Lower Mt Huber would have rockfall concerns, Victoria could be "sporty"cornice travel and Hungabee and Biddle would be just plain stupid. Rockfall and avalanche concerns on trails from Opabin to All Souls and the Huber ledges trail from Wiwaxy gap to Oesa. 70mm rain feel at the lodge during the period that places on the east slope reported 200-300mm O'Hara road was washed out but is now open and the place is currently pretty quite.
