So California was way below normal for snow totals until January, and now the mountains have plenty of snow. Same story for Utah, further inland. However, Colorado and the Cascades near Seattle are still quite dry, meaning that in those areas, snow and glacier climbs need to be done much earlier this year. There are definitely some highly varied winter conditions in North America this year!
What have snowfalls been like in Jasper so far? Are snow, ice, and glacier routes likely to be 'in' during the usual times this summer, or should they be attempted about a month or so earlier?
Any info would be great!
Thanks,
