Comments
Some pre-storm photos. I've been a bit surprised at how much snow the Mount Ogden massif has managed to retain on the town side, with more sticking around on NW than I would have expected.
The Banana Chute has snow down to about 8500ft, as do the other usual spots, such as the backside of No Name/top of Toto in Coldwater, the middle of Big Larry, the path above Malan's Basin, and the zone at Floyd Iverson near the saddle plus the upper reaches of Strongs/Beus/Burch Creek.
Thurston Peak also still holds plenty of snow.
