Lyman will announce the formal beginning of the contest guessing the opening day for the Sun Road--the winner getting the mythical "keg of beer".
Here's a 9 minute video of the Sun Road opening on July 13th, 2011, one of the latest opening days ever, second only to the first opening date July15th, 1933.
The snow this year reminds me of 2011.
Runs 9 minutes.
I goofed up the re-edit. I meant to end it at the parking lot.

PS
The snow amounts you see at Logan Pass in this video would be about average....for mid June.
This video was made in mid July.
Big difference.
That said, we could still have a mid June Sun Road opening.
Later opening dates are often caused by late spring snow storms that can come as late as early June.
Wide spread 3 foot snow dumps in late May don't make the road crew happy.
