Left TH around 930am and hit snow in about 1 mile or less, patchy before that but the road approach is easy in a car, rough in a passenger car - real rocky

About 1/2 foot of snow in the lower elevations, once out of the trees and near the pond or lake it is deep, about 1-2 feet.

and was cold and windy while most of the hike up was nice, with some suckerholes here and there. We has some okay turns up high, but they got better the further down we went on the slope.

About 2-3 foot base on most of the slope. Yo-yo'd the slope once and hiot a gully far right that had good protected snow. Back down to the car by 4pm.

 

Good Times

Not sure what the avy conditions will be like up there, but this cold trend should settle some things - there was no previous base out there, so its all anchored ot the ground as we speak - as there was about 2.5 feet at the base of the main slope down from the summit. Probably alot more up there now.

 

I think we are heading up to Hidden Lake Peak this weekend for some pow pow
