Quick report

Rode up Beta Lakes Road into the basins below Doris Lakes. Observed multiple sluffs across the road going in. The photo was at 5,000 ft on a southeast facing slope. Overall this area had significantly less snowpack than Lost Johnny and drainages to the south. Many more hazards under the snow and a far less developed base. Mechanical issues kept us from getting Obs at the higher elevations.
