IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL FOR SURE AT THIS EARLY STAGE.

If we get a rain on snow event in April, May, or June, there could be issues with the hotel, and if that happens, you wont be using the east entrance because of how it's designed. The NPS in their wisdom, or stupidity depending on how you look at it, built the entire east entrance over a very large and once very active alluvial fan. That fan is about a mile or more across and has for many years been void of surface run off. Divide Creek no longer occupies it's river channel as it once did, instead it's been diked and trenched in order to channelize and move the water through and into st marys lake without first allowing it to meander across the natural fan. Now that there is nothing to hold back the spring thaw and with the divide creek channel as small as it is, massive volumes of water will completely alter the current path of the stream. More than likely, they will allow the creek to re occupy some of its former river channel in order to save the town from massive destruction due to flooding.

It's going to be interesting to watch it over the next 10 years or so. I'm one person that believes that divide creek should be allowed to once again re occupy its river bed and to me that includes the alluvial fan. . .

So, that's it for now. There really is not much snow, but that could change in a matter of weeks if we get some real big storms to blow in. I've seen it put down 10-20 feet in a few days as late as June.

Keep in mind that Many Glaciers still is a great bet!!!!
