So I got up at 5am for a 530 departure to head up to the whites on a predicted cool, sunny non-stifling day out and about. My plan was to go check out the rebuilt Maddy Hut. Original thoughts were to revisit Airline after 30 years, do the cutoff, chk out the hut, maybe Maddy summit then out...

NWS saying high winds at summit late sat thru Sunday, however, wind direction is W then NW. Know the ravine will be somewhat protected. Best guess on what to expect? Winds 60 to 75 summit with gusts to 90. Thinking the ravine floor will be a swirl-a-Rama aka toilet bowling with anything less...

Beautiful sunny blue sky day. One inch of new at bottom to 3 inches up high, drifts up to 10/12 inches hut to summit, from previous day small snow and blowing winds. Huge meltdown from sun and warm temps by the time we exited, 330pm. Still advantageous to have atleast something for traction...

Roads in are the biggest challenge. Road off 16 is just north of the gravel pit road. Advise using hiking GPS and other member GPS tracks re:drive in for help on many diverging roads. When driving out, the 'main' road seems alittle more obvious than the original drive in. Atleast two dozen...
