Want to make a trip up to beartooth to get a little summer skiing in late June/early July. Plan on riding the "resort" for a couple days, but I was wondering if I should bring my touring setup / bc gear.
Would love to bag a peak or couloir, if there is anything up there worth skiing.
General/Specific beta appreciated.
The highway goes along the top of a high, flat plateau. You can bag some couloirs there very easily: they drop off the side of the plateau and should be in good skiing shape this year.Quote:

It looks like you have to settle for PDF now: it's out of print. http://www.selectpeaks.com/ThomasTuriano/Author.html
Beartooth will definitely be skiing into mid July this year. The basin is pretty amazing and right across the road from it is a really nice couloir that holds snow for a while. I wouldn't shy away from bringing your touring gear as well.
Awesome, Thanks for the info guys.
Might run by Teton Mountaineering and see if they still have a copy of that book. Looks like it would be a cool one to own (physically).
When I click on the 3 day projected cumulative totals it lists the same date in the from: and to: areas (three days from now). I assume this is the projected snowfall for the next 72 hours?

I do not know what normal is but lower aprons were definitely not in. First shots are of Dewey coverage was good up there. Possible to ski something beside couloirs.
