Leaders, if you're going to a "general" area to ski, please add specific details about the route you have planned and its difficulty. View the Backcountry Skiing Activity Overview page for ski difficulty ratings.
With the current Persistent Slab this will be a low-key outing. Perhaps to Artist Point for a couple of laps, maybe Herman Saddle, maybe only part way, low visibility = Swift Creek. We'll discuss via email/text/phone and at the trailhead, there are other options also, let's see how NWAC calls the persistent issue Wednesday evening.
Heather Meadows, south end where groom track empties into parking lot, booted and ready to skin at 10:30 a.m.
