Current Snow Cover

Postby budmelch » Wed May 30, 2012 10:45 am

Hi All-

Does anyone have any info in regards to the current snow cover in the Illiloutte Creek/Bridalveil Creek area of the park? Would we encounter snow on Buena Vista peak next week?

Thanks

Last reports I have seen are that the snow is at about 8500 feet or so, depending on exposure. So unless you are on the north slope of something, you won't see a lot of snow below that elevation...
