Anyone know if there's snow on Split's North Face/Ridge? Even a glance from town of Big Pine would do me some help. I'd take anything but completely wind scoured...

Looking at it from my window in Big Pine it looks like you could stay on snow for all but one small band of rock near the very top. The hard ridge itself is scoured free of snow but I'm assuming you mean the general flank that is the traditional climbers route from the saddle.

More fresh snow up there after last night. New snow down to about 8,500'. High winds predicted for today may blow much of it off exposed areas, though.
