RideT61 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Planning to do something for the coming weekend but haven't decided what yet. I haven't been out much and am wondering what the snow level is at various places in the Cascades. Tell me where you have been (location, aspect, elevation, amount of coverage, depth, etc.) and what you found. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Out for a ski in the Tatoosh on saturday. Lots of snow on the northsides, much sparser on the s-sw exposures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'd recomend skiing on a glacier because its fun to get the sloggers all riled up by skiing over their ropes. Make sure you get your edges sharpened before hand though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekend_Climberz Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Talking with Rangers yesterday at Cascade Pass, they considered it to be what would have been called a "Normal" snow year. Everything is melting out rather quickly, but expect some snow on trails above 5500'-6000'. It's looking alot like summer out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crevasse Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I was in the Sisters wilderness (N Sister) and there was patchy snow above 6,000 and snow above 7,000. Ridges were clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluka Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 We were up near Colchuk and Dragontail yesterday. Hit continuous snow on route to Aasgard Pass at about 5700-5800 feet. Route up to Colchuk appeard to have continuous snow at about 5,800 feet. The upper Enchantment Lake area visible from Aasgard Pass had plenty of snow coverage but lots of bare patches as well.

MisterMo Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Up on W Cady over the weekend snow was pretty solid above about 4500, higher on S facing stuff. Â I think perceptions of a heavy pack are more correctly indications of a cold spring. It's vanishing by leaps and bounds this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideT61 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the info, I'm thinking of taking my wife over Hannigan Pass and checking out the Chilliwack Valley and hopefully Easy Pass, Ridge, Whatcom Pass area. MAybe I can even run up something easy. If you have been in the area recently, I'd love to hear about it.
