FYI the SE route from the trailhead on Fall River Rd is very clear of snow all the way up.
Re: James Peak - conditions?
Has anyone been up James Peak from St. Mary's recently? Interested in what the snow cover is like on the flat area and the upper slopes of James for a ski decent. Thanks!

A week ago it was continuous snow from bottom of glacier to summit. Approach trail was mostly dry.danegarreau wrote:Has anyone tried James Peak lately? I'm planning on visiting St. Mary's tomorrow (Monday).

Re: James Peak - conditions?
I summitted James Pk yesterday (6/3/2017). Besides the flat area near the top of the glacier, there is continuous snow from the bottom of the glacier to the summit. Here's a picture I took from the top of the glacier.Has anyone tried James Peak lately? I'm planning on visiting St. Mary's tomorrow (Monday).
