How much new snow . . . . .

[Lix]

in the Stuart range in the past weeks?

I know a few inches fell where I was working in the Sawtooths, but could use some local info on snow amounts and elevations.

Whatever . . you're just jealous you don't have the right to put a bumper sticker on your rig that says "I Love Mormon Pussy"

 

 

I want one that says "I love slutty Mormon girls"

Good question Lix... anybody been in there recently? Snow? Pics?

[gyselinck]

Haven't been in the area, but heard a recent report that it snowed 3 in. at Prusik Pass. Wonder if it stayed or melted out.

Finally mustered enough motivation to call the L-Worth ranger station. The snow from last week didn't stick around for the most part, shady north faces probably exlcuded though, and it had started snowing again "up there" (however high that is I couldn't get them to say) this morning.

 

Any better resources out there?

snow at ~8000' on Dragontail and Colchuck. No snow at the lakes. (Backbone and Serpentine were snowy and rainy on Saturday).

 

edit: Colchuck NE Buttress and Stuart NR still looked snowfree.

Bump

 

Any new snow? Anybody been in to ingalls lake to have a look? Any beta would be great.

Saturday was almost entirely snow free on DT except for some in shaded patches on the NF. Getting cold though, the creek coming from the Colchuck glacier moraine was frozen with 3" of WI in spots. check my tr in alpine lakes for

pics.

Went up Stuart last weekend. There's now about 6" on the top, making for sketchy conditions. See attachment for a pic.

Which route? Any other photos? Thanks for the info!

Looked about the same yesterday, with a recent light dusting.

I just went the Cascadian Couloir route since I was solo. Wanted to scope it out for a team effort on one of the other routes at a later date. Was beautiful on Sunday. I think I was the only climber on the south side. Didn't see any signs of other climbers from the North either. The masses were all over in the Esmerelda side, though. For more pics visit:
