There is continuous snow starting about 10 minutes from the base area. Coverage and depth up in Campbell basin and the Southback ridge is excellent. However, bring your summer wax and don’t forget the sunblock.

Cool. Thanks for the report.


About a 10-15 minute walk from the parking lot to the base of the Quicksilver lift. There are 2 Snowcats at the base of Quicksilver to keep snow at the start of climbing. Still good coverage    Also good coverage for the descent of Middle Frerk's.😉

Thanks for posting, guys. I've been wondering what the Crystal area is like these days. Afraid by next week much of the low-elev snow will melt (judging by how quickly things are melting in the Silver Peak environs which I visited two weekends in a row). Here's to hoping that Chinook will open up soon : )
