Smith Basin / Crossing Creek

<p>Evidence of a recent avalanche cycle generally up to size 1.5 with one larger avalanche observed (see avalanche tab). Midpack is supportive, but weak sugary facets and depth hoar can be found at the base of the snowpack. On account of the recent storm snow and weak basal facets, we stuck to conservative terrain.</p>
