Comments
Great day out on Patterson for a summit! It’s a long walk, so thought I’d save someone some trouble. If you’re after good quality skiing, this is not it! Breakable temperature crust. And lots of rocks. But amazing day out! The bootpack is in great shape and we even were able to keep our skis on the way down. Above it there are 2 spots where the creek is filled with debris. No significant signs of instability observed, small wet loose from steep solar terrain as expected.
