St. Mary’s Glacier snowfield depletion

Overview

St. Mary’s Glacier, a perennial snowfield in Colorado, is experiencing significant depletion. In August, record-low summer snow levels raised concerns among local enthusiasts that the site might become un-skiable for the first time in recorded history.

By September, reports indicated that the snowfields continued to shrink due to a warming climate. Long-time local skiers noted that snowmelt is occurring much faster than previously anticipated, impacting those who rely on the site for year-round recreation.
