Splitboard Mt. Belford
Has anyone been up to Mt. Belford or the Missouri Gulch trailhead lately?
Existing condition reports are stale. I want to ride the Northwest Gully this spring and would prefer to start at the trailhead proper. Please spray some beta this way!!

Nobody cares that you splitboard.
Re: Splitboard Mt. Belford
The most recent CR from 4/9 has a picture of the NW gully, looked filled in at the bottom, but not quite to the summit, hard to tell though. Sometimes you've got to be the beta!

Ya the poster of that 4/9 picture said in the comments they didn't climb Belford... so didn't want to take that report/pic at face value.
Weather forecast doesn't look great for this weekend. Next weekend I'll just have to be the beta!

Re: Splitboard Mt. Belford
Thanks Posthole Pete! Belford looks like it is in good shape. If the forecast this week comes to fruition (more snow) next weekend might be bomber.

Re: Splitboard Mt. Belford
I saw this a little late, haha.
Was a fun ride. 4k of continuous riding for a so-so snow year was a treat.
I think I will go back for that East facing bowl sometime.

Re: Splitboard Mt. Belford
Ha! better late than never. I ended up splitting Belford... from the top of the gully not the summit. Twas a fun ride indeed. Gatekeepers need not worry...my list is accurate.Posthole Pete wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 10:21 am I saw this a little late, haha.
