This last Tuesday I decided to bag Casey Peak in the Elkhorns; this is the first time in the winter that I didn't need snowshoes to do so. A little post holing (6-8") the last 1/2 mile, but the route is on the north facing slope too.
A buddy of mine and I are planning a trip into the Bob Marshall early January, as it stands now we'll be carrying snowshoes more than using them (Badger Pass Snotel shows only 5" of snow!).
Late summer the weather guy said we'll have a strong El Niño, so warmer and drier. winter Then come mid October we saw single digit temps and got 16" of snow (in town!) and thought that weather guy has been smoking crack, but turns out he wasn't.
