Default More Glacier National Park roads opening

Officials at Glacier National Park announced the opening of more roads Friday after delaying the opening of some park areas because of lingering snow.
The road into Cut Bank Creek opened Thursday, and Cut Bank Creek Campground is set to open June 17. Avalanche Campground and Rising Sun Motor Inn opened Friday. Saint Mary Lake boat tours also began operating Friday.


Park officials previously announced a few delays in opening some areas of the park because of unusually heavy mountain snowpack. Sperry Chalet's opening is delayed from a week until July 15. Many Glacier, Two Medicine and Cut Bank campgrounds won't open until June 17 at the earliest. Two Medicine boat trips also delayed opening until conditions improve.
Plowing crews on Going-to-the-Sun Road have encountered 10- to 20-foot drifts, park officials said Friday in a press release. The road is open as far as Big Bend from the west side, and as far as Siyeh Bend from the east side. No opening date has been set for the upper section of Sun Road.

Snowbird ski resort in Utah is still open and Snow Basin is re-opening. Both still have 6-8 ft of base. And it keeps snowing up there. The mountain just east of my house had a new dusting yesterday, as did the area I hiked earlier in the week.
