Snowmass east slopes - how much snow in the Elks?

Post by MyFeetHurt »

Anyone have recent beta on snowmass or the elks on general? Would the east slopes be a bad route this time of year as the snow cover will probably be light or non existent?

snowmasswebcam.com and look at Mount Sopris. It's not Snowmass but it's a start. Also check this one out as well.

Granted they are not of the peaks but still you get an idea of live camera's very near where your are interested.
