Quick Observation

Freeze crust up to 1800m which made for an horrendous bushwack with skis on back to the parking lot Traveling above 1800m and below treeline was supportive Skiing at and below treeline was great despite some soft wind slab at treeline on certain aspects The slope from Hamilton Lake to Emerald peak/Top Hat col was quite wind-affected and most of the slope was a hard windslab with pockets of soft snow. Overall, stability was good below treeline and conditions deteriorated quickly above treeline
