Looks like the summer season is starting early in #Colorado. On the one hand, it was nice to test some new gear so early in the season. On the other, it’s still March and this is less than one linear mile from a place I was skiing in steep, deep powder only three weeks ago.

Three weeks ago, slightly higher in elevation, less than a mile away:

@c_dan4th niiice!

@c_dan4th @ai6yr Up here in the Cascades too. I figure backpacking season, which normally starts in mid-July for the high country, will be starting now and over by late July & we'll be dealing with fires through October until the fall rains start...assuming they start, that is. Normally I go to Utah as soon as school is out the 3rd week of June & come back to backpack mid-July-late August. This year I'll stay & backpack in June/July, go to UT in August

@ai6yr @Dougfir @c_dan4th Deer Valley & Park City are closed (or are closing today). Beaver Mtn in Logan already closed. Solitude is down to something like 12-13 runs open out of 80+ runs. My cousin skied at Alta this past week & said it was more akin to the Snoqualmie slush we are used to up here than actual powder. Shitty ski year

@c_dan4th @ai6yr Our high-country is still in winter mode as well, particularly further north, but the snowpack is so much less that places like Fire Creek Pass & Mica Lake on the PCT, which often don't melt out until August, will probably be snow free & ice free by early-mid July. Probably will need to carry more water than usual here too, since some of the seasonal streams from meltwater will be dried up.

@hikingdude It was spectacular. But then we’ve been having summer weather.

Nice! I’m jealous! Where are you camping?
My adventures in Colorado have mostly been day trips, although I’ll be camping near Capitol Peak this fall. -

Sounds nice to me— lake and mountains.
