🐦 day at Brooks!

Awesome day out. Approached via the cross country trails from Raven Lodge (ponds, lake approach, lake trail). Crossed Pigott Creek and followed the drainage to under the saddle and ascended via the northeast aspect. On the way up, we encountered low density dry snow at treeline in sheltered areas overlying a supportive crust. Around 1,400m+ we found a mix of soft wind slab on lee features and wind-scoured crust on ridgetops. The slabs were mostly unreactive and showed no obvious signs of instability.
