Looking to go to Mt Morrison in the winter. Does anyone have information on general and this winter conditions. Thinking 1st weeks of February. Probably, east slopes.
Hope I can spy on Death Coloir.
Thanks.

I'm also interested in conditions on Morrison. If you go, post up what you find!

You're looking at waist deep snow on the approach and as deep or deeper on the climb. Best done with skis. Impossible without at least snow shoes

Thank you Morgan. Did you go there yourself? What route did you do and when.?

and how was the Death Couloir looking? Any ice? I wouldn't expect much now but you just never know.

Climbed the NW ridge on Feb 27. Approach and decent were fine snow was consolidated, did not encounter any waist deep post holes. The death couloir looked somewhat dry, did not see any ice
