Steep Creek

<p>On the ridge, in the east-facing bowl, and in the mellow north-facing basin from the knob above the lake to the west the snow was excellent - boot top+ low-density pow which felt right side up. Lots of tracks all around an no signs of instability. But the snow in one of the north-facing lines off of the ridge leading towards Steep Peak (where the pin is dropped) the snow was spookier (see snowpack). </p>
