Joel was a university librarian who loved running in the San Juan Mountains and we established this scholarship in his memory to support local students who are continuing their education.

San Juan Snow Conditions - June (Final) Update
Reflections on the 2024 Snow Year in the San Juans. The first week in June saw the last of the snowpack at the Red Mountain Pass SNOTEL site melt. While May ended with somewhat cooler weather and persistent snow in the San Juans, rapid warming in the first week in June has melted the remaining snow - at least below elevations of 10,000 feet. Overall, it was an average snow year (see figure for the SWE comparison with last year - light blue is 2023, purple is 2024). After January, 2024 never caught up with the 2023 snow level, and the total snow melt (at Red Mountain Pass) was about two weeks earlier. But, given the general reduction in the Western US snowpack over the past ten years, an average snow year was very welcome! Although we mourn the early snow melt, there should be a good wildflower display for the 2024 Hardrock.
