A note on the La Plata

A note on the La Plata for this time of year, watch the CFS, it is typically higher in the morning, that is yesterday's snowmelt coming down and by afternoon we get the freeze from last night. Obviously this changes the higher you go. Contrary to what people who work desk jobs in town and never go in the mountains tell me... there's still some snow up there. Yes our pack is lower than some years but no, there isn't a total absence of snow right now, there's still some melt happening. It's kinda funny when you were standing in a foot of snow yesterday and someone screams in your face "THERE'S NO SNOW LEFT IN THE HIGH COUNTRY!"
