Stefan Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Please look to see if you see a snowline for any of you going to the Enchantments this weekend (October 5-6). I will be there next weekend (October 12-13) to climb and would like to know what you find. Please respond to this post. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haireball Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 we had snow visible from der village well below the Icicle and Tumwater ridge crests on 10/2. as of 10/5, that appears to have melted off... don't know how much this helps. we've had freezing temps down at least as low as Colchuck lake for at least three weeks; witness verglas on the slabs below the Colchuck Glacier two weeks ago... -Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rieman Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 I went up there 3 days ago and it was just very windy and cold. We got a small dusting of snow in the morning which turned into rain at about 6000ft or so. Have a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tread_tramp Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 besides two patches in the 7,000ft. range that looked like they were year round snow fields, we saw only traces of snow on Colchuck Peaks northwest route this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 thanks tread tramp and everybody else. Did anybody else witness any other type of snow conditions up there this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COL._Von_Spanker Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 There is no new snow to be had. The old stuff might be a little treacherous if you are heading up dragontail, though certainly doable. What little snow I came across near the lakes above asgard pass was VERY hard throughout the day, so if yer doin' a route that heads up the snow you may want to bring some screws. The weather was great, but blowing hard on and off all day, probably about 25mph on Prusik, and blowin' REALLY hard coming down Asgard.
