2021 EBC after some snow (Kevin Kayl)
Snow day at EBC (Kevin Kayl)
We received word overnight that Everest has received a fair amount of snow. The Team made a great decision to go into a holding pattern. It is not uncommon to get some snow during the early stages of the season and the additional time resting at EBC will pay off for the team because they will be even stronger when the weather clears. For now, they will wait out the snow and wind and then evaluate conditions before heading up on their first rotation.
All is well at a snowy Everest Base Camp!
