Just a a couple of pictures to go along with Andrew's (aholle88) conditions report. It is possible to skin/ski an almost continuous line from car to summit and back. We took off our skies for a short section along the road and then just before accessing the ridge (seen at the center of the first picture). The snow here was pretty thin and hard-packed. We didn't see much evidence of someone else having been there the day before, and winds were really picking up on our descent. Fortunately for us, we never found any of that waist-deep snow he was referring to.

I should have noted it was up to the hips/waist WITHOUT floatation in the segment of the gully I went out into. It was certainly not waist deep blower pow skiing haha. Just throwing the warning out there since Sherman is often recommended as a beginner winter climb, which means very unprepared people will likely try and attempt it without the right gear. With the recent SARS reports, I wanted to point out the possible dangers of the climb to make people aware of what they might get themselves into before they head up there thinking it is going to be an "easy" day.
