RGP since the recent snow?

Post by Codyhill1991 »

Anyone get eyes on RGP OR any of the centennials outside Lake City since the recent snow? It seems like maybe the San Juans got the least of it, I'm trying to figure out Monday-Wednesday next week and have emotionally moved on from significant snow season so I'd be super stoked to hear about any high 13ers that are on the dry side, since I have three days I don't mind a drive. I'll keep my eyes on the site and the Facebook group for conditions reports posted in the enxt three days but I probably need to make a decision by Sundays morning. Thanks very much.

It’s my understanding that this conditions report was after the snow

Also, from my observations today, the San Juans did not receive substantial snow. I’ve attached a picture detailing some general conditions when viewed near Red Mtn Pass area

Bump. also very interested in Lake City 14ers/cents/bicents conditions! Recent trip report out for American Peak that suggests south facing is on the "good to go" spectrum.

i was keeping an eye on this all week because i thought about heading to lake city this weekend, but wind gusts up to 50, followed by a strong snow forecast is just not my cup of tea.. if it's yours, then drink up-

Received only 3-4” and it all melted within a couple days. Sangres got the snow, not the San Juan’s.
