Trey, the switchbacks just became useable last week. The glissade area should still be ok for a short time. The extra-deep "half-pipe" / "super-chute" / "bobsled trough" that was most heavily used this spring has exposed rocks, so don't use it.

Thanks Mike!!! Including some of the pictures here. They are exactly what people need to see so they know what current conditions are. (Click on each picture for full-size view)

This is a photo of the "snow bridge." This 15 foot or so snow bridge is the only area of the cables that is still snow covered.

This is one of about three snow crossings on the switchbacks.
