After a long and satisfying season, the avalanche center is now closed until November or December. If you need to contact me, please use the sburak@psln.com address. Thanks to so many people who helped made this winter a success. Look for your name in the upcoming annual report which should be out by middle of June.

Here is a collection of the various snow conditions around the Pass, weekend May 10 to 11, 2008

Coke Chute: May 10, fins in the couloir, apron and lower slopes ok skiing

Powerhouse: May 11, cold and windy Sunday, cloud over the Dana Plateau and high winds made for frozen snow.

False White: Saturday: sloppy skiing in afternoon, slope looks like the Face of 3 at Mammoth Mountain due to concentrated skier use.

Somewhere along False White/White Mtn; good skiing in couloirs, soft snow mid day, no sluffs in steep terrain.

Ridge between Gaylor and False White. Decent skiing, no fins, some sluffing in steep rollovers.
