Difficult travel near Linda Lake

Attempted to go for an exploratory walk up the valley above Linda Lake. We turned around at the lake due to difficult travel conditions once we stepped off established trails. A heavy layer sits above sugary facets. The heavy snow supported about half our weight before collapsing into the facets. The result was that each step felt like two. The lake had about 15cm of snow above 15cm of slush/water.
