Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
Was at Corona/Rollins June 30th, Skyscraper was still holding snow with a continuous line down to Bob lake. Didn't get eyes on Challenger.Jgknudtsen7 wrote:Anybody been up to skyscraper glacier on Corona/Rollins pass recently? In a different area,any info on the north face of Evans? Personally I know that The north side routes on Torreys are holding well and a bunch of the trail ridge road lines are still in.

Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
Trying to get a run in this month for sh*ts and giggles.. Torrey's still appeared skiable July 4, St. Mary's was decent July 21, assuming RMNP has a few routes, any other suggestions?
Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
Any updates? No idea what shape things are in in the IPW... Skyscraper? Heard Tyndell still had something...
Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
Flew a plane up to Laramie today looked like the north facing snowfields in RMNP were still holding snow. Tyndall and the like.

Its been over a month, early July, but theres a very large snowfield below Jasper's east slopes, bigger than Isabelle glacier. I glissaded it and was pretty decent then, lots of coverage in the basin. Steep entry with a good runout. Not sure about now. Whatever's left could be icy and rocky.

Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
Bump.
I saw that Tyndall is still somewhat skiable. And that somebody was working on a line at St Mary's. Isabelle, Andrews, and Skyscraper look to be pretty much unskiable right now. What else is going on?

Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
I skied Isabelle glacier about 2 weeks ago and it was holding good enough for a somewhat enjoyable run. with that as my September day i'm now waiting for new snow to fall before i go skiing again.

SWEET!!! maybe I'll get to 50 by the end of the year after all. Got to 48, got giardia, needed a root canal, and then work started back up so I was worried my season of climbing was done.SchralpTheGnar wrote:No snow in the forecast for the next 4 weeks
Re: Skiing: what’s still good?
St. Marys is still skiable.
