Btw, if you want a few turns, there is still some snow up in Jewel Basin if you don't mind hiking a few miles each way. Message me if you want to go.

I get gnarly on the way up.

The first cliff in our line, I dropped it wrong the day before and got a nice quarter sized core shot after landing on a rock.

The second jump in the line, with a 360 courtesy of Colin. Yes, he did land this.

i rode my bike to the hiker/biker sign today, which was at the birdwoman falls overlook. almost no snow along the road, and looking up towards the visitor center it looked like mid-june (not much snow) i talked to one of the construction workers, and he said that they will open the west side first but not until july 1st.... in other words no skiing logan pass really cuz the snow will be mostly gone by then... or you could ride your bike up w/ your skis... but that would suck...

I would not go with that July 1st number. There is immense local pressure to get that thing open, as a lot of businesses depend on it.

well there may be a lot of pressure, but theres also a lot of damage on the road from all the flooding last fall, still lots of gravel and rocks on the road, and lots of work to be done, and the east side is going to take longer to open... even if they get the road open by early to mid june, there didnt look like there was that much snow, although i only made it to the birdwoman overlook cuz of the sign....

Ben, it would have been bad for your ankle.

Today I went up to Glacier. I went to ride up the road, and it was blocked, so I hiked with my mom up Haystack Creek. I got turns on both sides of the pass, and the snowfield below was taller than Haystack Butte.

Here is a picture of Logan Pass.

And a picture of Birdwoman Cirque.

Way low snow. Quite a bummer.

Thanks. The rangers are probably pissed that you put a t-shirt on their rock, which will never live again thanks to your carelessness.
