Post by mdavenport2 »

Anyone climb Buckskin in the last few days? What are the av conditions? Is snow cover thin?

My hiking partners and I did Buckskin/Loveland on May 9th last year. The southeast ridge seems to be an avy-free route. Here's a link to my trip report:

We were up there last weekend. The north slopes to the east summit were mostly devoid of snow. There was snow coming off the west summit on the north side but the ridge is easy from the east summit was easy and would be a safe route for sure.
