4/22/2018 Route: East Ridge Posted On: 4/23/2018, By: Tony1 Info: Snow coverage on Mountain Boy is great. Splitboarded it on Sunday, April 22 from the Graham Gulch trailhead on Highway 82. One other in the party (on skis). Skinned from the trailhead until 12,400, then we put them on our backs and booted. The ridge is cross-loaded, so there is not a lot of bare ground; be careful ascending it, especially if the snow is more firm. We descended back down the ridge to about the same spot to avoid the more avalanche-prone slopes, then turned north into the bowl and back east to the TH. No sharks. |

3/25/2018 Route: East Ridge Posted On: 3/25/2018, By: sdkeil Info: Encountered a lot of unconsolidated sugar snow through the trees and on the ridge proper. As of today there is a good trench in place to the summit. Bring your axe, crampons and your "A" game for this short little gem. |
