Young's Traverse reverse (Asulkan Hut to Parking)

<p>We took the Young's traverse in the Asulkan Hut up Young's Peak and down the illecillewaet Glacier direction. Conditions from the Hut to the summit of Youngs were somewhat wind-affected, all previous tracks (~20) from the 24th had been buried by wind-affect overnight. One party member skied the headwall and reported conditions between wind-packed and slightly compacted powder. Conditions from Youngs to Lookout were much more wind affected. From Lookout down the glacier to valley bottom was progressively hard-breakable crust to heavy slush on the lower portion of the glacier and at valley bottom.</p>
