I'm taking a ski trip onto the western slopes on Glacier Gorge of RMNP in a few weeks(the CDT where it makes an almost loop starting and ending at the western gate to Trail Ridge). Does anyone have any beta on snow conditions?

Thanks

I can tell you that RMNP lost alot of snow in the past week and will lose a ton more this upcoming. Some of the drifts at Hidden Valley went from knee + deep to dirt in a week.

I soloed Martha's in a tee shirt.......

It was a spectacular day Saturday, and I only saw 5 other people in the entire Longs cirque including Meeker......

No wind........no wind......I could hear people talking at Lambs Slide and near the Rescue cabin.......

Unbelievable day.........
