May 26, 2017, Interglacier

Definitely nowhere NEAR as fast as some of the recent write-ups!  It was 33 degrees in the parking lot, boding well for corn formation. There is an avalanche blowdown about 2 miles in that takes some negotiation. Crossed the Interglacier creek @ about 3 miles, following the obvious tracks, and proceeded up the south side of Glacier Basin.  Lots of avy debris from Ruth.  I made it up to within about 400 vf of Steamboat Prow before running out of gas, an interesting and disappointing experience. The upper glacier was superb: a little old graupelish snow, corn, and touches of verglas in places also. Overall about 80% snow coverage on "the trail" but lots of skis on-and-off action.
