Quick report

It was a nice spring morning on Red Lake Peak. Snow was firm but softening by 9am and an earlier start would probably have been ideal. While there were a few small previous wet loose slides and a good amount of previous roller balls, I didn't create much  on my mostly south east descent just before 11am. Some of the snow surfaces were not as smooth as ideal for descending. It appeared this was a legacy of previous wind scultping. There was a light wind from the south west that was appreciated on the ascent.
