I was thinking that we'd lose the whole snowfield, but I bet it will hang on... when I was up there last September, the snow wasn't warming much at all, even when the sun was on it.

Sopris (12,965) has a semi-permanent snow patch between it's twin peaks (usually several hundred feet long, 50+ feet wide) that has apparently disappeared this year. (I need to double check that. Sometimes when it's small it's only visible from one area.) Anyway, I can't remember it disappearing in my 15 summers in the Valley.

So perhaps there's just a bit of glacial activity still going on even if the thing is 99% dead.<br /><br />Love the blog.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14155124764305778798noreply@blogger.com
