I would post this in regionals but I need a quick answer:

Does St. Mary's Glacier still have snow? I want to ski it on July 4th. Any info is appreciated. Thanks guys!

Pretty sure that place has snow year round, I've skied there in september, you'll be fine!

Good stuff, thanks everyone!

Ya, it has plenty

It always has "snow"

But it's usually more like an inch of creamed corn on top of east coast ice. Still skiable, though

loveland pass has like 6 rails..

Alpine glaciers are made of snow and ice. There is always something to slide. The conditions might be shit but you could still ski it 365 days a year.

im prety sure glaciers mean that there is always snow. Then again i did spell prety wrong twice.

Due to it's shrinking size saint Mary's glacier is now actually st Mary's snowfield. But in reality it's crazy to think of there being a front range glacier where it is. There is still snow year round but it's small by the beginning of October

Did anyone set up any rails yet? Seeing if i need to hike some in.

Sluts!

When I went up there they had some not setup but just off to the side.

Technically, it's a permanent snowfield and not a glacier.
