Warning-P-Patchers may become extinct.

Not posting a TR as 4 turns not worthy of a TR.
Stewie, Pam and I left Paradise late at 2.00 Pm and took our skis for a walk to the P-Patch.
It's still there but be warned, I have never seen it so small and the lower apron that makes it worthwhile for a few turns and some margaritas has melted out A LOT!
In the 6 years that I have relied on the P-Patch to provide some September and October turns I was shocked to see it so melted out.

Oh, that's depressing... Thanks for the report, and good to see you and family yesterday on your way up.

Nice seeing you again as well. Hopefully we can get some Alpental evening sessions in during the coming season.

Sounds great! Count me in...

Take a hike on the Moraine Trail before it snows again to see what truly sad shape the lower Nisqually Glacier is in; ditto for the lower Paradies glacier; ditto for Muir snowfield.
