Yesterday, we skied in the S. Fork of Garnet Canyon in GTNP to check July Turns off the calendar. The Meadows/Boulder Field are still under maybe at least 10-15 ft of snow, which is covered in pebbles and small scree from either an early-season avalanche that took rock with it, or rockfall off of Nez Perce. It was a good day for the rock skis.
All in all, some significant effort was put out to earn some silly-fun turns, and we were rewarded by sandals at the car by 11:30 and beers by noon.
