Stuart Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Just in case people were thinking of heading here over the next few days.... Thick fog at the pass to about 4500ft. Temps not too warm at all in the fog (around freezing), but super warm above it. Water pouring from above so none of the ice lines low down are forming up. Checked out the south gully of Guye Peak - no snow in it at all. Ended up wandering up the East gully - really sloppy, intermitent snow once you get above the fog. At the summit you can see how little white stuff is left on the rock - Chair east face, the tooth etc, pretty much bare. Just way too hot up here. If the fog were thicker it would be different story. Roll on the winter proper... Quote
Greta Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah, thats what I was afraid of. Version should be lifting soon with freezing levels coming down to 3-2000 by Saturday with ample precip forcasted. We'll see what actually happens, though. Hopefully things will shape up soon after. Thanks for the update Quote
ckouba Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Hey, thanks for the unsolicited beta post. Saved me a 4h ride to find nothing white and frozen. Stayed home and got fat and sleepy instead. Good choice. Chris Quote
iluka Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Conditions have definitely changes up at the pass after the past two days of weather. We were up there today and found small amounts of snow down to the Denny Lake trailhead, a lot of which had melted out by the end of the day. Up higher around 3500 feet ran into 6-9 inches of new, feathery soft powder on top of a crust/ice layer left over from the previous storms a few weeks back. Quote
