We will head up toward Bullion Basin and decide on a travel plan based on the snow conditions.  The combination of good coverage for early season and generally good snowpack stability will provide us with options for ascent and descent, although the possibility of a brief warm-up on Thursday may result in the formation of a thermal crust on some (or all) aspects at lower altitudes.  To deal with the crust if we encounter it, we will pick higher skiable zones for laps.

Usual meeting point (46.93589, -121.47388) AKA Bullionn Basin TH at the Crystal Mountain Base area, 8:00AM.
