Quick Observation
Spent the weekend at Shadow Lake Lodge. Sunny and warm on Friday for the ski in. Initial idea had been to see if we could get up Gibbon Peak West, but the entire alpine face was bare rock. Went up Gibbon Pass Peak on Saturday, day started warm but had howling winds in the alpine. Some breakable wind slabs on the W/SW slopes we were on and wind transport observed. Had thought about traversing to Ski Hill Peak but ridgeline was bare rock. Ski conditions were hard and wind affected transitioning to crusty and heavy lower down towards the lodge. Size 1 loose wet avalanche likely from a couple days back observed on the South face of Storm Mountain. Had a couple cm of snow overnight Saturday which helped the travel back towards the highway from Shadow Lake Lodge, but still very icy on the hills.
