Re: Snow coming first day of summer!
Currently trying to decide if trying to tackle one of the Front Range peaks is even worth it in these conditions.

I’m doing the Slacker Half Marathon tomorrow - starts in Loveland’s parking lot and goes down to Georgetown. I’ve already got the ski garb and microspikes in the front seat just in case!
Oh, and the A-Bay info in that article is already a wee bit behind the times. I got an email from them yesterday stating that they’ll be open next weekend as well.

Now up to almost 19" as of 2am Saturday. There are going to be a bunch of out-of-state summer vacationers at Steamboat who aren't going to be all that thrilled this weekend.

Re: Snow coming first day of summer!
I am in Snowmass Village this morning and there is a fresh snow dusting. A couple more inches expected Saturday night.
I counted 11 fresh avalanche chutes on the Maroon Bells road and Crater Lake trail, about four times I usually see. The most impressive fresh chute is just west of the La Plata trailhead on 82.
