It depends on location, elevation and exposure. Most of the glacier's are retreating. Grinnell is melting fast. Salamander and Gem glacier are stable.

Jackson increased 25% over the last decade. Point is predictions of the glaciers demise have been wrong for around 90 years. When do these people get taken to task?

That area of the Rockies had 150 glacier's in 1850 and now has 25. I agree that some of the remaining ones will last quite a while longer. As someone who Summer skied on several glacier's in Europe in the 1980's, I can say most are in very bad shape. So I have first hand experience on how things have changed in 35 year's.
