Babo Conditions

Post by johnr1 »

Does anyone know if the snow has cleared off Babo? I am looking to go there in April and would prefer a dry footing :)

I can't imagine that there is any snow or ice up there. When I was on Wrightson on Tuesday, which is quite a bit higher, we didn't hit any snow patches until after 8000 ft. It's been pretty dry down here. Looking forward to your triplog from Babo- you'll have a blast!

Mazzies have snow @ 7000 ft, hanging on on the north sides and shaded pockets.
