Hilda/Parker's Ridge wind hammered as usual

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>I spent Wednesday and Thursday ski touring in the Parker's/Hilda zone. Fresh snow from Tuesday made for good dust on hardslab/crust skiing on Wednesday. There was little evidence of Avalanche activity except for one small skier accidental on a convex windloaded roll at treeline (8 m wide, 20-50 cm deep, hard windslab). We skied conservatively. By Thursday all the pow was pretty much blown around into hard surfaces with some decent carvable planar slopes. Again we continued skiing conservatively.</p> <p>Parks closed the road as we drove south yesterday afternoon, apparently in anticipation of a snowfall warning with the estimated opening not until tomorrow.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Tom Wolfe<br /> Mountain Guide, ACMG/IFMGA</p>
