Drove by it yesterday. Nothing seemed to be forming yet from a drive-by look. Things looked wet, but definitely nothing on triple-tier or others easily visible. 0 Flag Quote

	seth0687 · Oct 15, 2014 · Fort Collins · Joined Nov 2007 · Points: 375 Ok so I've slept after a effing long day but here's the beta. Alexander's is IN, even has ice in the chockstone area, super fun. Smear of fear looked good but isn't fully touching down and lower half is thin... Didn't get great pictures of dreamweaver or Dutchman. Martha is not even close. Lambslide is good boot pack consistency. Approach all the way just past chasm junction can be done in trail runners as of yesterday. Peacock pool is coming along nicely. Sorry for the crappy quality I only had my iPhone. Cheers boys and girls!! 0 Flag Quote

	Andy Hansen · Oct 15, 2014 · Longmont, CO · Joined Sep 2009 · Points: 3,286 Guided the East Couloir near the Ptarmigan Glacier yesterday. The snow was pretty much ideal the whole way up. The routes to the left (Ptarmigan Fingers, Flattop aka Northwest Gully, etc.) were forming good looking rolling WI2/3. 0 Flag Quote

These few days of warm weather makes it not so promising, though. 0 Flag Quote

I was in the Notchtop vicinity on Tuesday, October 14th and it looks like things on Notchtop's NE Face are forming up but will still be a bit before it's fully in. I would guess within the next two weeks depending on weather/temps, etc. 0 Flag Quote
