You can probably still get up Brandywine if you don't mind riding some rocks. Callaghan was slushy last weekend. Hard to say if you can still cross it or not.

You'll have to go a lot further than 3K up Rutherford. In fact, I think Rutherford is pretty much done now. Sounds like the creeks have pretty well opened up.

By now, you'll drive almost to the warming hut up Brandywine. It's a steep, rough, SOB. Most of the last traverse across the open hillside past the warming hut will probably be melted out this week. Bring your mosquito and bear repellent.

May 31. Brandywine access is still decent. Little trailers or deck only.
Massive slides to bare ground......use your knowledge and enjoy the ride.:D

parked just below the cabin and rode into Brandywine bowl. There were 3-4 slids we rode accross.....no worries as they were massive bared to the ground.......so nothing left to come down. should be able to head there for another few weeks.
