Excellent conditions in the bugaboos right now. All
routes on Bugaboo, Snowpatch and Crescent are dry. Pigeon has some snow on last
part of west ridge and the east face/Kor route is still wet but drying
fast. Howsers are in great shape. Beckey/Chouinard is mostly dry and cornice is
mostly gone above east face descent. West face of North Howser is mostly dry I
suspect and the Kain Route and North ridge are still mostly snow but some ice is
showing through.
Glacier travel is still excellent and
Bugaboo/ Snowpatch col is very friendly as of today. With the current
temperatures, long range forecast and the fact that it only early july, the
Bugaboo /Snowpatch col MAY turn into an icy, rockfall nightmare
by august. I sincerely hope I am wrong.
