Xmas Wendy Thompson

Spent a few days at Wendy Thompson over christmas. Access is tricky. A few creek crossing on the FSR. Icy and less than ideal coverage at treeline, makes for a spicy exit. Lake is crossable. Snow was very good above / near the hut. Coverage is decent considering the slow start of the winter. Lots of boulders still hanging out. We skied the east facing slopes west of the hut and had some great turns. No signs of instability although there was rapid warming on the morning of the 25th. Crossing the lake back to the trailhead, noticed that the south west facing slopes were pretty wind affected from the 25/26 snow / storm with heavy winds.
