Went up to Lake Blanche today in Big Cottonwood Canyon. This is one of my favorite hikes/places in Big Cottonwood. No pics, but I should have brought the camera. The trail has changed alot since I was there last year around this time. There were alot of trees down last year, but this year there are more and their covering the trail in a few spots. There was a few snowfields higher up, so expect some postholing in a few spots, the snow is still deep, up to my thigh when I went in. The lake itself is more than half frozen still, with a cool looking sheet of ice on it, Sundial is basically snow free, Dromedary/Sunrise still have a bunch of snow on them. I did have the lake to myself for about 10 minutes when a few people started showing up, oh well. It was a nice hike and day.
