Conditions report

Location
Ptarmigan Cirque

Snowline at Highwood Pass was at 2205m
In trees and at treeline 10-15cm snow
Trail through treeline to Ptarmigan Cirque is very slippery with packed snow and ice. Bring poles and or ice grippers. Above treeline where grade decreases trail is less like a bob sleigh run.
Larches are starting to turn but should be better by next weekend.
