Thanks James. Feathertop is definitely a good place to go. Was just trying to get out of driving/hiking so far. With this rain the snow could be crappy. It rained last weekend when we were hiking up to Feathertop leaving the snow fairly slushy. We were hoping to get one more weekend in before it all went completely to sh*t.
