Wow!
That is really beautiful Chris.
Was that wide crack near the top wet inside?
Did you post hole deep in places?
Wet legs?
A couple spots we thrashed through on the descent certainly would have gotten us soaked in those conditions!

Looks like you'd need an ice axe to get down from Snake Dike.
Thanks, Chris!

Beautiful shots Chris, thanks. That's "posthole light" you guys are doing, with "posthole medium" at knee deep, "stout" at thigh deep and "hell" at waist to chest!

Did you stay at Snow-Creek hut?
Mike, have we been emailing? My x-sierra crew is "fair-weather" - they'd rather delay for sun and corn as opposed to wind, cold, hard snow.

Is said X-S trip going nordic or alpine?
I would love to get on board with one this season and likewise can't round anyone up. This late season snowpack is making everyone indecisive. Waiting for corn season this year may mean waiting out the season entirely, apart from Shasta.

Hey Cleo, If you are Val, yep, that's me. small world.
Seems things in my schedule have changed and I couldn't have made it until later anyway. Second half of May may work better for me.
NotIt; For myself, I'll be on downhill oriented tele gear with fish scales, plus (of course) skins.

Excellent stuff. I'm cross-posting this to the Yosemite Forum and giving it a bump.

Chris -
Le Snow Creek Hut is marked on the USGS Quad (as "Ranger Cabin"). I could probably dig out coordinates too, but the best way to find it is to follow those trail markers (from the big meadow). Tired now, but it I think of it tomorrow, I'll post more...

may look like a dusting, but the dustings have blown. this is good slushy, rich full-season stuff. the skeeters are gonna bite and the streams are gonna flow. jump on the early alpine. stoke.
