Bedivere, that map was helpful. I wish they would include better information on their website.
Yeah, Googling "Alpental permit boundary map" doesn't produce anything more useful than that picture. I'm surprised there isn't a publicly available map somewhere that shows exactly where their boundaries are. Well, there probably is, it just doesn't appear to be online. Probably a question for the Forest Service. Personally, I think the ski areas should be required to publish these maps on their websites, or the Forest Service should have pages on their site about this.

I went up there today and had a chat with ski patrol. From what I can tell, they didn't care at all about me going up the permanent skin track from the upper lot. They were more concerned about people going into the actual ski runs or the back bowls. I only saw one person beyond source lake! Too bad the visibility wasnt great.
This is good to hear, right from the source. I can understand the concern about avy runout on that track though. Still, it was always my impression back when I went up there a lot that they didn't really care about people using the track to access Source Lake and that as they told you, it's more about uphill traffic on the runs and in the back bowls.

Lol yikes. The PNW: where it snows so much avalanche crowns form impassable cliffs.
