Quick report
Toured up to Harrison lake from the Harrison lake trailhead starting from about 5000 ft. On our way up the snow went from heavy wet to softer snow at about 5300 ft. Once we hit the lake at 6200ft, we headed up the east aspect from the lake. On our way at up we found a thin melt freeze crust about 25-30cm throughout most of our terrain. Light wind transport at ridge lines. Visibility was not on our side today so we got up to the ridge at 6800 ft or so and rode a nice line through some trees back to the lake and then back to the sleds. Riding was good out there as it felt right side up until you hit the wet sticky snow somewhere around 5500 ft.
