East Ridge is (mostly) without snow to above tree line at around 12,200. From there, it is a hard packed, 20-40' wide highway in place all the way to the summit. East Ridge was skiable from the summit all the way to 12,200, and possibly further if you decided to get creative. But I wouldn't give it too much longer - lots of shark fins starting to pop out. Box Couloirs are in great shape with excellent coverage throughout. Saw a number of late day starts with tennis shoes, no snowshoes, and mini-day packs. Summer is coming. |
