Glacier Basin, Steamboat Prow — Friday, Jun. 2, 2023

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Looking down the Inter Glacier to Glacier Basin

Glacier Basin is mostly snow free to Emmons overlook.

Just a bit after the overlook it abruptly changes to virtually 100% cover, ideal for skiers I suppose.

Early in the morning traction would be wise if it was cold enough for the snow to freeze during the night.

Glacier Basin camp area still has snow cover, but it is looking not too deep.

Inter Glacier looks solid with no visible crevsases or depressions

Snow free from ridge up to Steamboat Prow.
