Quick report

We set out with a low expectation but oh no need for a frustration the mountain was kind it even blew the mind with powder and views galore. Should you find yourself in though should I work today or should I not? The mountains might say please do come play for there you will find untold splendor. Some cross loading on the standard winter route up McGinnis. Some avalanches around the recent freezing line on Grandchild's peak. Similar slide above nugget creek area, on the Heintzleman side.
