Just based on the most recent report from Sneffels, I'd guess very wintery. Another 4-8" is excepted today, too. Of course it's on the other side of the San Juans, so could be somewhat different.

The patrollers were skiing at Silverton the other day. The San Juans got dumped on.

Hoping to do Unc/Wetterhorn Saturday morning. Looks like I'll be bringing my boots.

Might be planning on doing Wetterhorn and Uncompahgre this weekend also! :)

I'm not sure if the Uncom cam is working, my computer's security settings are blocking it. But here are a bunch of webcams!

Thanks! The credit actually goes to Jim Davies, who posted it on the fb 14ers.com page.

Would anyone have a recent update for the conditions on Uncompahgre? Thought to post that here, since it's close to Wetterhorn.
