May 15th last year (my last time there) was too early by about a week. We are, however, a good 3 weeks ahead of last spring in terms of melting. I'm thinking up South Baldface, then head north from there, either doing the regular loop or adding in Meader, or beyond.
Are you guys going to be hitting up Wildcat anytime soon? I may be hitting it up with a friend next weekend (11th or 12th)...Tuckerman Race is this coming Sunday, which is a sight to see!
