beveragesnob Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I was wondering if anyone has been past Lake Constance recently to avalanche canyon (I think thats what it's called) and if so, is there any snow left in the canyon? I will be up there early Sept and the info could affect my travel plans. Also, this is my first post...great site, fantastic resource. Thanks!

Norman_Clyde Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I haven't been up there recently, but the snow is virtually certain to be all gone by this date. Even more so by early September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweezer Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I was in the lower middle portion about 2 months ago and there were two extreemly small patches left. Im sure snow is non-existant this time of year, in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beveragesnob Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Thanks for the timely response! I will possibly rethink the route as I am taking a small group with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couloir_climber Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I climbed Constance on Friday (8/19/05) and there were just a couple small patches of snow on the main route. I didn't need my ice axe...in fact it was only in the way on the trail when you had to scramble under fallen trees. I bypassed the terrible traverse below the snow. No drama.
