Quick report

Mostly easy travel, although setting a skin track was a bit challenging on steeper sections that held dry snow and seemed to be mostly facets on the upper pack. Surface hoar from what I suspect was thurs night. No signs of wet or dry avalanche problems and snow surface was just getting moist around 3 pm on solar aspects (at upper elevations)

Dry powder on north and even west facing aspects with trees/shade. I’m not sure if the fir trees like when you push off their snow hats but sometimes i do it anyways…
