My fellow guides, Shaun King and Eric Ostopkevich taught a snow school with
British soldiers just below Saddle Pass today, June 13th. The Saddle Pass trail
would be poor hiking choice at present as it is holding a half to a full metre
of snow for much of its run. We saw, nor heard, any fresh avalanches with
today's rain, but we couldn't see a lot, or hear a whole bunch for that matter.
Happy trails,
