I just spoke with someone at the visitor's center who said he had not done the loop in the last month. All he could tell me was that he thought there was "some snow" above 12,000 feet.
I'm considering going up Friday night and starting early Saturday for a one-day loop if conditions are good. Has anyone been out there in the last week? Looking for any info on snow - if so, where and how deep?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Current Four Pass Loop Conditions?
I was up at Maroon Lake on Monday and talked to a group that just came off the loop. It was all good. From what I can see the only places that have snow are the north facing aspects of Pyramid and N. Maroon. Everything else is dry. That said, the weather service is predicted possible snow flurries this weekend so it may be worth watching the forecast.

I did the loop on Saturday. Conditions are basically perfect.

It may snow this weekend.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Re: Current Four Pass Loop Conditions?
Yea weather looks iffy. I'm hearing a warm system though, snow above 10-11k which is basically most of the 4 pass. Right now everything is snow free and warm. 70s in CB the next few days.Scott P wrote:It may snow this weekend.

GR-
I may know who you are. And I may know where you live.
If you have space for me and want some help paying for gas, or if you need a ride down Friday, we should talk tonight. I've been wanting to do this all season. I'll obviously need to start like, 4-5 hours before you Saturday morning, though.
