Comments
Photo 1: Shows early season snow on the northly aspects in the West Bowl of Silver Fork, while the more easterly aspects are currently dry.

Photo 2 shows residual early season snow on north facing Patsy Marley, as well as Devil's Castle to Sugarloaf.

Photo 3 shows that the Emma Ridge is completely free of early season snow at this time. In the background, significant early season snow remains in north facing Cardiac Bowl as well as east facing Suicide Chute.

An excellent overview of the upper reaches of LCC and into BCC and how the upper elevations north aspects are harboring faceted snow whereas the snow on sunny aspects has melted off. Photos such as this are excellent documentation of the existing snowpack before it snows again.
