Hi All,

Curious if anyone has been out to the Bob Lake area and knows the current conditions of the Skyscraper Glacier. Call me crazy but have kind of a hankering take a walk out there with the splitboard if possible! onX recent imagery makes it look like it's pretty well filled in. I've also come across multiple videos of people getting out there in August or September so I'm feeling confident it goes but thought I ask here and see what folks say.

Someone on the CO BC facebook group skied it a couple weekends ago, it's in but there's a crevasse at the top that is 'easy to navigate'. It should still be in now, it's reliably in all year but it'll probably be some of the worst snowboarding you've done in your life. It's usually quite good in early July though.

Ha! Thanks Chris. It does look a little heinous from the videos but got a hankering for a little adventure so I'm contemplating it. Thanks for the info.
