Oct 3 2009  - Mt. Mcrae Glacier

15-20 cm from Tree line to summit. The Ground is well frozen, making travel easy by foot. The Glacier would have been easier to ascend with crampons. We skirted the ice on some sketchy rocks to access the top of the ice field. The Glacier has opened up a bit more than I last remembered, and there are significant crevasses Skiers Right, below the Peak. A long Vertical crevasse divides the glacier down the middle, the (skiers) left hand aspect of the glacier appears to be free of any significant crevasses, and is the aspect we skied.

Just hope the snow line stays below 2000m. it looks like the alpine could warm up this week. Rain sucks.

no, that 70 is legit. I was up there yesterday when it was dumping and their site said 35. It looked like 2ft in the parking lot. I think this is more snow than they opened with last year.
