Here's what she looked like last Saturday

July 3, Black Lake - Just the usual (for this time of year) couple of snowfields to cross just before the lake.

Thanks a bunch for the image.

Yesterday we hiked Mt Ida and onward along the slope past Jagor Point down to Lake Amore', Love Lake and Arrowhead Lake. The descent from Mt Ida directly down to Azure Lake looked a little too dicey for us with all the snow.

Does anybody know how the "S" gully is looking on the North side of Thatchtop? I'm curious if all the snow has melted out of it yet.

Thanks!

July 10, Chasm Lake - Snow is virtually gone. What little snow that is left can be easily avoided. No side-hilling this year. I'm sure the Keyhole route to Longs will be non-technical very soon. The shelter hut near the lake that was rebuilt after the 2003 avalanche is gone again. There is a larger structure just beyond the privy. Perhaps it is the replacement.

Thanks! I guess I'll find out the answer this morning since that's where I'm heading.

Planning on heading out this weekend for a quick trip to the park / early family Christmas. Anyway wondering if anyone knows snow conditions for snowshoeing up in the park (above Bear, Bierstadt, or Cub). Gonna maybe try to do a little tromp through the woods if time allows so just wondering where may be worth heading to. Thanks for any help!

There is plenty of snow above and around Bear Lake on the trails and the woods should be fine too.

Thanks Ed, I knew I could count on you!

The conditions continue to improve since Dec. 16th with it being the best early season I've seen in a long time. Now the full on winter storms will roll though. It's all good.
