Title: Mt Adams snow level
Post by: elkontherun on July 28, 2011, 12:33:10 AM

Has anyone been up around Mt Adams this week? How much snow is left and where can you get to?  I was up there two weeks ago and couldn't get to Council Lake yet.

I was up at council lake on Monday and the roads were clear.  There was still a little snow around the edge of the lake and some in the ditches but that was it.  The mosquitoes tried to carry my lunch off though!!!   There terrible right now!

I've never been there and don't know squat about the area but my buddy summited Adams last Friday/Saturday. He and about 60 other cars were able to drive to the campground that everyone uses that hike the mountain...can't remember the name...he said the road had opened up just a few days before that. He walked about 20 minutes from the trailhead and then put his skis on and skinned all the way up the mountain to the summit and ski'd back down.
