Quick Observation
After staying at the WTH from Friday night to Sunday morning we made some general notes for the area: -crusty layer consistent from 1300m to 1900m buried beneath 5-10cm of fresh storm slab/wind slab -Friday night cold temps surface hoar present, possibly buried/ destroyed by Saturday afternoon winds - Sunday morning warm temps/ fresh snow made skinning VERY difficult due to stickiness, layers sliding -granular snow consistently present beneath crust -decided to abandon any attempts at decent skiing due to obvious instability between the newly deposited snow. -many creeks and holes still exposed due to low snow Would advise against skiing in the area until the snowpack has stabilized and some of the hazards have filled in
