Snowline is at 3100'. The road is well open until milepost 22.

I skinned (up and down) the summer path to 5200', stopping at the beginning of the traverse to Cascade Pass.
6-12" of lovely, creamy snow appeared at 4500'. The new snow seems to sit on a few inches of older snow which overlies the rocks & vegetation. Dunno about the bond, or the wind-affectedness as I was in the trees.

There's a heinous crevasse at the bottom of the CJ couloir

Fall,
the bottom of the CJ couloir on wide-angle
& the bergshrund

Holy crap thats huge! Im sure the multitude of slides will fill it.

Thanks for the beta. Looking NASTY.

Yea,  Good beta.  Better not ski CJ until that is nicely filled in  ;)

Skinning up and down is classic.
