Does anyone know where NPS broadcasts their weather forecasts from? They say it's on FRS 15, so are they at 14k camp on west butte? Can you get them on cassin ridge?

gabby (basecamp manager) reads the NPS weather report from basecamp. we got it fine on the rib, so i imagine you would also get it on the cassin.

you may already be going in this direction, but i would have least 1 other source of weather data (ex. friend, spouse, partner back home sending you reports via inreach or pay for chris tomer's service). we found the NPS report to be "iffy"

you'll want a radio for sure. if you run into issues, that's the first way to try and get assistance...

also for nightly trivia
