Notchtop/Ptarmigan Glacier
Hey! Anybody up there this weekend? I am thinking about this friday and was curious about the rapidly melting snow? Thanks for any info!
Re: Notchtop/Ptarmigan Glacier
Was there last weekend, skied Notchtop Couloir and Flattop North Face couloirs. We had excellent skiing, skinning conditions, snowline started about a mile from the TH, but I can guarantee that has changed between now and then and by this friday, who knows. This is the quickest Spring I have seen out here (only lived here 4 years), but it is warm and stuff is melting uber fast.
