Yeah, I know about SNOTEL, etc. but there's no substitute for on-the-ground observation, especially as snowpack diminishes and SNOTEL data zeros out.
I'm planning a trip (largely off-trail) in the Eastern Gore range starting around July 20. I know from experience that some high passes can be fairly heavily corniced into July in average snow years in that area, so I'm a wee bit concerned, since the route I have in mind involves crossing a few such passes, and my daughter, who may be going with us, is not real comfortable on steep snow.
Any beta from remotely that part of Colorado between now and then would be appreciated.
