This is the Saturday Foss discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Saturday Foss | Trip Page

This is kinda last minute, but it should be at a good level and I'd like to check it out.  Anyone been down this recently?   Feel free to call also.

Dave,
The last report that I heard was that there was wood in there.  Not exactly sure where.  If you're interested in hitting the Top Tye instead I'm going to try and make it up there later in the day (all tied up until mid afternoon).

hey pow, i did the foss 2 weeks ago and would be hard pressed to recommend it as a great run right now.  lotsa wood.  you can get around everything, but kinda sketch in some spots, but it still goes, be on your toes and be ready to do alot of sneaking (ie ducking under logs, bashing through branches with your elbow pads and that sort of stuff). i guess that you could say that it "had a case of the early seasons"  meaning too much wood and not enough h20, but it still had some good parts.  peace out mang...

Ya, its was just a thought.  The Sky was supposed to be around 7k tomorrow afternoon so I thought it would be padded out.  Hmm, that wood don't sound too fun though...    Top Tye, hmm...

Let me know if you want to hit it (TT).  I'll be up in the valley later this afternoon for either a play run or a quick TT run.  Tomorrow morning I'm heading back up for a longer TT day.
 
While we're on the subject the lower Tye is also reported to have some bad wood.
