Table Mountain

On March 8, 2010:
Scouted coverage on Mt. Tom, Basin Mountain, Mt. Humphreys, and Table Mountain. Coverage is full in all couloirs and gullies. Snow skirt for all mountains can be accessed directly from paved and/or dirt roads, requiring little or no hiking to begin ascents. Saw zero avalanche activity from South Lake Road, 168, and dirt roads all through Buttermilks. Snow not yet slushy.

On March 14, 2010, 2:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.:
Ascended northern gully on Table Mountain directly from Four Jeffreys campground. Two tracks up and down before us. Skinned on skis and splitboard to top of mound at 9200 feet. Great fat and flat skin track now in place! Thorough snow coverage, though brush may well begin to melt out by the end of this week's warm weather. Snow surface was primarily a nice 8" of wet powder on a not-too-hard sun crust. Some wind loading in guts of gullies, not more than a couple of feet. Attempts to ski cut the slope were non-reactive. We saw no natural or human-triggered avalanche activity. Nice skiing all the way down :)
