I was on Avalanche Gulch on Friday, and it was nice, no wind anyway. The rock fall from Casaval Ridge below Lake Helen was a pretty nice photo. But, an awful lot of trails crisscrossing the mountain side and very icy when I was there in the morning. I was at Clear Creek Meadows a couple of weeks before for a Sunday afternoon walk and that was nearly pristine. Only a few sets of boot tracks, a couple of snow board tracks coming down the mountain, only one slight post hole all the way up to just above the snow covered meadows and back (really good snow), and beautiful views of the mountain with clouds partially hiding the summit and creeping down towards Clear Creek Meadows. I hated to leave.
