Evolution Area Conditions

by mrchad9 » Wed Jun 12, 2013 11:00 pm

Posted earlier... Snowline is at 11,500 feet on north slopes and in cirques pretty much everywhere. Camp at Sunset Lake one night, had a bit of slush on it the day I arrived but was pretty impressive how much it changed in 24 hours. Probably be all gone within a couple days. Same with Echo Lake. Did the NE couloir on Mount Powell, was able to follow a finger of snow at least 80% of the way up until it gave way to rock. Treasure Col was in good conditions. Snow was ideal really. Hard packed in the morning and covering most of the talus and not much else. Perfect for glissading in the afternoon.
