Snow in Sayres BM Couloirs?

Post by Grover »

Has anyone seen or can anyone speak to the current conditions of the Grand Central Couloir on Sayres Benchmark? Is there still snow from the apron up to the summit? Anyone on La Plata today with a view of it? Thanks for your help.

I did the Refrigerator Couloir on Ice Mtn on Wednesday and there was still plenty of snow left in that basin which is near Sayres so I'd imagine there's still plenty of snow but I have not seen the basin first-hand.
