snow/slush/ice from the university. Plows have been good this week and have kept at it. Expect a mess of cars this weekend, with everybody coming up for avalanche days on sat. Could be real interesting tomorrow morning if it freezes tonight.

Nice, a snow cave is even better than a tent!

Personally I've found a good snow cave is much warmer than a tent :)
Anyone know how the snow is from parking to Red Heather? Have some friends looking for some good snowshoeing tomorrow.
Busyness is almost a reason to avoid it, hopefully people chain up or park low. Seen many cars do ok up the hill and then slide off going down. |

Snowcaves are useless above zero degrees and especially in the rain because water pours off every ripple in the roof. Been there, done that.
I have heard of snowcaves used in Patagonia for shelter from storms, but the occupants pitched their tents inside.
