Anyone been up high this week? I've seen a lot of clouds up there... wondering if it's warm enough for Glacier Gorge or Sky Pond.

Weird. The NWS forecast is super rosy for Rocky Mountain this weekend in comparison:

Yeah it is - I just checked and the 5PM NOAA forecast dropped the winter storm watch.

Just spent the last weekend bivy at Sky pond. It snowed there on Friday 09/18 and some snow sticks to north and east faces. Cold overnight down to 30F on Friday and sat night (water froze in a jetboil etc), very strong winds on Saturday and Sunday. South Face of Petit Grepon was dry though, good climbing, just windy.
