Unless you are touring that's the only resort choice in Summit right now.

Planning on touring. Where the snow at?

Well there's not enough snow to tour really, you gotta just walk to it. Fourth of July Bowl on Peak 10 has a fair bit of snow and good access from the road that goes up that way. This article has some really good options... http://read.garagegrowngear.com/summer-skiing-in-colorado-backcountry/?_ga=1.262353420.1215460360.1432873073 None of these are in Summit County but are all within a couple hours.

North face Democrat is the closest, but you'd definitely want to scope it out first or get confirmation it still goes (was getting a little thin a couple weeks back).

I was up at Hoosier pass last weekend and it seemed like some peaks still had a little snow but like they said earlier you want to make sure they still are holding.

Good call man, peaks at back of drainages up there (Clinton and Traver) should probably be good almost all year.

OP: McCullough Gulch is freakin gorgeous and might offer some nice skiing, so just add skis and boots (maybe axe and crampons) to your hiking set up. Even if you don't get a big line in, you'll definitely enjoy the day cruisin around up there.

In addition to those already mentioned, Tuning Fork on Torrey's might be an option (checking that out tomorrow) and the the stuff on Squaretop off Guanella Pass usually stays in for a while, was still pretty fat at the end of June this year.

Mt Evans might be worth a look, but I'm guessing it's melted out by now.

Not in Summit but somewhat nearby is Skyscraper Glacier, which stays in all year.

St Mary's is always an option, but the skiing sucks.
