	Mike Marmar · Jun 5, 2016 · Salt Lake City, UT · Joined Aug 2013 · Points: 67 Just got back from the Uintas (skiing). There is a lot of snow up high. Anything above 9500' or so is pretty snowed in. Any sunny rock is probably dry, but the approaches could be tricky (and watch out for rock fall). A friend went to cliff lake and bailed due to snow. 0 Flag Quote

I skied within 100 feet of the parking lot on Saturday. Still plenty of snow. The gate to Albion isn't usually open until July 4 weekend or so. And, its still locked. 0 Flag Quote

Alta web cams: alta.com/conditions/mountai… You can see Devil's Castle in the background of both the Sunnyside and Sugarloaf Peak cams. There is still over 70" of snow in upper Albion basin. 0 Flag Quote

Prepare for wet snow conditions Crag and Shred Classic this Sunday. Ski/snowboard when cold, climb when warm. Meeting at Bald Mtn parking or Hayden overlook, which ever is cleared. 0 Flag Quote

Perhaps on that upper snowfield, but things are getting pretty lean. Bald Mtn from parking area Photo taken last Sunday, 19 Jun 2016 0 Flag Quote
