Garibaldi Lake

[Subnivian]

Is it still frozen? Is the traverse still doable or desirable from S to N if it isn't? Thanks.

Good to go. Take some barbituates for the Black Tusk trail.

I've crossed the Neve twice in early May, both times in years with much less of a snowpack than we currently have. On both trips the lake was frozen and passabale, but in many places had a layer of unavoidable slush that would rush into your boots when you hit a deeper than expected pocket. Shouldn't be quite at that point yet this year.

 

 

I'd recommend going north to south. Skiing out from Elfin lakes is much more pleasant than going down the Garibaldi Lake trail at this (or any) time of the year.
