Has anyone done the Mount Alice loop and have any advice or recommendations? My husband and I are thinking about doing this loop this weekend...Thanks!

There will be a lot of snow to contend with. I'm assuming you're doing the Lion Lakes to Boulder Grand Pass route?

I would try to find out about snow on the east face of Alice and below Boulder Grand Pass on the way down to Lake of Many Winds and Thunder Lake. Those would be the steepest sections and the areas of highest concern.

The areas beyond Thunder Lake and around Lion-Snowbank are wet in a normal season. So expect extra wet in those areas where the snow is melted.

I agree about finding out about snow conditions. I'm wondering if there isn't a great deal of snow on the Hourglass and Boulder-Grand Pass sections.
