Columbia Conditions

Post by SES_17 »

I was hoping to do the east ridge this week and was wondering about the approach from Three Elk Creek. Any snow around BV? Could route finding be an issue? Any info would help.

I can see most of the east ridge from here. Very little snow below 13K. Route finding should not be an issue.
