Quick report
Parked around 5300’ and went up to Glen with the expectation of staying out of avi terrain. Blower turns above 8k and snowing several inches per hour for portions of the day, gusty winds. Dug a pit at 8k on the WNW slope dropping down to Hidden and got ECTN12 around 25cm down and ECTP24 60cm down on the old/new snow interface. Scary enough moderate especially with heavy snowfall we elected not to continue our descent to Hidden as the terrain got steeper and instead skied a few deep laps on the E side of Glen Lake Peak in more conservative terrain
