Bald Hills

<p>Fun day checking out Bald Hills. Good views. Descent from the lookout was relatively wind-affected. Decent--albeit mellow sloped--powder to be found below the NE aspect and en route back to the logging road. Descent further N along the lookout ridge appeared unsafe, with a substantial cornice. Terrain S and W of the lookout appeared considerably wind-affected. Snow pit revealed heavy wind slab through top 40cm sitting on a 10cm layer of hoar powder that compressed and slid with CTH25 (5 shoulder hits). Great day to be oot and aboot while playing it safe.</p>
