Carol,David & Michael,
You can always count on weather days so it's good to get them over with while you are still low on the mountain. Enjoy the rest! The meaningless 9-day forecast I am following has the snow diminishing by Sat for the 11,400 ft level and warming up by Sun - take it for what it's worth.

I'm thinking of you, specially Daniel Emond,
from his daughter Natacha

We love you and love watching your amazing adventure. I hope you enjoy every exciting day on the mountain. A lot of folks never try to do something as monumental as the task you are undertaking. Kudos to your Chutzpah and spirit of adventure.
Rock on!!!!!

As the wind subsides and you move up the mountain, just know that all of us are with you and that you are one bad ass girl doing what all of us wish we could be doing.
Love Meg and Patrick
