Anyone been down in the Roost lately and know the road conditions? and the water conditions inside White Roost?
We were down to Big Springs NWFork in early January and the roads were beautiful. The water was a bit chilly due to breaking through the ice up to waistline on the last pool. Thanks in advance

When in January were you down there? I was in the roost on the 13th-14th and it was dry in Alcatraz. Since then I've seen one or two storms roll through the area. Don't know what it's like right now, but I was at Big Springs in November and it was full at the first rappel so we ended up doing the East fork as it was the only dry one of the 3.

This might be a little late, but. I was down in the White roost February 10-12. West fork had a small amount of water in it and snow. Did not do the others, encroaching weather. The main road in was very muddy, 4x4 def needed in my opinion, the northern end of the roost had a surprising amount of snow melting, turned everything sloppy. Down around the rim of white roost there was less snow and the roads where better.
