Out for a nice Sunday drive along the Duffy lake road.
Looks like the major snow line is around the same
elevation as the Flavele hut, with a bit of snow
lingering down a few hundred feet into the trees. At
around 7000ft things change quite a bit. It looks like
it has been snowing for a while at this elevation. All
the shrunds on the North face of Joffre are gone and
there are two large size 2 or 2.5's out from the north
glacier of Joffree and the North face of Matier. It
also looks like the wind has been quite active at
ridge crest.
It didn't look like good skiing or climbing, both of
which we were up there to do...hence the Sunday drive.
Happy hunting. Craig
