May 31, 2003, Highway 20

Good skiing.  Easy Pass TH is completely melted out, still a decent snow pack at Rainy Pass and Blue Peak TH.  Good coverage on north facing slopes, steeper south ones are starting to show some bare spots lower down (ie, across the way from Blue Peak TH, towards Cuthroat Pk).  The partly cloudy skies kept the snow from softening too much in the sun.  Sun cups are starting to form on some slopes but the skiing was overall quite good, mostly stable corn.  If the temperatures climb as high this week as the weather models are indicating, the snow pack here will start to dwindle dangerously low, very quickly.
