Quick report

Rode 6 up, traversed to the King, and then skinned a quick lap from the bottom of the airstrip up to Party Knoll to see what things looked like. Largely untracked, deep, unconsolidated fresh snow from the recent storms made for unexpectedly arduous uphill travel and felt on the verge of being "hot pow"; downhill movement was similarly slower than expected, but I experienced no slough or movement/reactivity in the snow. No activity (tree bombs, pinwheels, etc.) visible on or near Threeway or Joe's.
