Crusty Crunch with a Good View

<p>With spring's deeper snowpack and longer days we decided to go check out a more remote area. The Cushing valley, off the Morkill, provided great views of North and South facing slopes. With clouds that kept the temperature cooler and no wind, we didn't see any new avalanche activity. We did see that the recent warm temps are eating up the snowpack on southerly aspects and leaving a crust everywhere but northerly tree line and above.</p>
