Quick report
Skied below treeline in the Hyalite Creek drainage. No signs of instability were observed, and our snowpit showed a well-bonded lower snowpack. The crust/facet combination in the upper snowpack doesn't have enough of a cohesive slab to be an issue right now. Swirling winds all day, with moderate snow transport below treeline that drifted in our skin track. no signs of instability observed
