Front Range ski lines still in?

Post by TheRealRooster »

I haven't been able to get out or keep up with conditions much lately, although I know that it's been hot out there and there's been plenty of melting. Anyone have up-to-date knowledge of ski lines that are still in good condition around the Front Range area? I'm shooting to ski every month this year, and I'm hoping to avoid heading to St. Mary's Glacier just yet...

Appreciate it!

It all looks great for late July. The usual summer lines off Loveland Pass, 4th of July Bowl, RMNP, IPW, JPW, and everything off Corona Pass (if it's even open yet) will be great. Theres at least 1500' in the Tuning Fork (as of Thursday from Sniktau summit). Saw pics of St Mary's from the weekend that look way better than the last few seasons. Just go ski and report back!

Appreciate the responses, thanks folks!

Re: the East side of Torrey's, that's kind of what I'm afraid of. Hopeful for some deeply inset couloirs somewhere, or more North facing stuff still holding decent snow. Will report back if I get adventurous this weekend.
