May 12-13, 2001, Colchuck Lake

Road is open to trailhead, a few patches of snow on first section of trail to junction with Colchuck Lake trail, more snow than not from there to lake. Not possible to ski below lake. 0-3 feet of snow at lake. Snow was mostly deeply mushy and unconsolidated. Booting through the deeper parts near the lake was a bit of a pain. Although its starting to look dicey, you can still ski across the lake. We skied to Colchuck col, upper 2/3 was firmer but not great. Alot of rock showing on slope to Asgard pass, it looked so grim we did not bother to attempt it. Maybe barely possible to ski it continuously from top to bottom, and not for long.
