Hanging Lake snow pit

diego.gilon, Sunday 8th January, 2023 1:10PM
<p>Ski tour up towards hanging lake Access: Multiple open creek crossings (5 I think), rain until about 1100m and heavy tree bombs from 1100 to around 1350m. We decided to wear helmets on the skin up 💣 Wooden bridges free of snow were interesting to skin/ski on. The snow was heavy and wet below 1550m. Height of snow: I probed around 215cm at 1350m on NW aspect and 200cm at 1420m where we dug a pit on a W aspect. </p>
