Dawn patrol, no, make that a night patrol, up Gastineau Peak. Snowline was around 900ft to start skinning, but that's because the trees are so thick on the Mt Roberts trail. Snow was basically ice, with my ski crampons not penetrating the "snow". Pretty ridiculous, but skiable as long as it wasn't too steep. Here come the rains.........stuff is going to get trashed below 1000ft I'd imagine.
