Can anyone tell me what snow, if any, could likely be encountered crossing Swiftcurrent Pass around mid-July? Thanks! Tom

Depends on the season and how much snow was received the previous winter, although chances are you'll be fine in mid-July.

I'll add to Hockey Ref's comments by saying that snow depth is very dependent on what happens in Spring in addition to the total winter snowfall. Wet and cool rings often result is new snow or delayed snowmelt.ThomasMore wrote:Can anyone tell me what snow, if any, could likely be encountered crossing Swiftcurrent Pass around mid-July? Thanks!

You never can tell for sure, two years ago the highline didn't open until July 24th.

I'll be going over it the 13th of July so it will be bare and dry.
