any beta on peaks that are still skiable?
Looking to ski 2-3 more 14ers in the next week or 2. Anyone know if any are still skiable, or is it not even worth it anymore?

The North Face of La Plata and Massive looked pretty good this past weekend, although I doubt they're still in from the summit.
Re: any beta on peaks that are still skiable?
I skied Massive yesterday, it is holding much better than Elbert. You have to walk down 10 feet below the summit, and then can ski 1K feet without taking off the skis, and then with five more horizontal boot walks to keep going to the northeast aspects of the Gully just N of the standard ridge, managed to get another 1K feet, down to 12,3. Standard trail is almost summer conditions, other than a couple snowfields around 12K, and a few on the summit ridge above 14K. Soft enough that I didn't need microspikes. I hope it lasts with this heat.
