Anyone been up or around Tuning Fork yet? Got an invite to go ride it tomorrow but just curious if anyone has any recent beta. I've ridden it before but that was in mid-May a couple years back, sooo...yeah.

I saw a picture, somewhere yesterday, it looked like it was barely in from the summit.

I was in the area today. It’s a little thin below the summit but someone might be able make it connect. Not sure the snow would be fun to ski though.
