Snow Watch 2022

Thanks JonWells. How does one access this?

Some feedback from my trek on Saturday: Current snow cover is quite extensive on South facing slopes - about 30-40cm deep. From the top of Yoddler's Cascade Valley to Greys pass was a slow slog. I was in trail runners and had it not been for one set of tracks on my heading, probably a week old, my progress would have been painfully slow (pun intended). I did 6km in 2.5hours. Sticking to North facing slopes helped but was not always possible. I would advise against escarpment traverses without proper hiking boots for another couples of weeks depending on further snowfall.

Can second the amount of snow left on the south facing slopes as described by BergAttie. We ascended Ships over the weekend and found some proper snow cover, some places still surprisingly deep powder consistency, especially the last 200m or so on the south fork. Moving over Champagne Castle Peak was a epic fun but super slow 

   

This past long weekend my husband and I ascended Giants Pass. There was still a bit of snow on the ground, with some areas more than ankle deep. The Makhaza Waterfall was spectacular! Single digit temperatures all 3 days with -6 on the top (not to mention the howling wind) 
 
 
 
 
 

 

@Hikingle, looks like you had fun...

Do you perhaps have some more photos of Makhaza? Want to see how the ice conditions are coming along for a climbing trip in July 

I was there at the end of May. You can see how much ice has formed since then.  

@vivo101 Here's a few more. Sorry, didn't have time to resize some of the pics. If you interested in a video please PM your email and I will send it through.
