Comments
Great day touring out and back along the HSCT. Variable snow on all aspects, and travel along ridge top was tricky with plenty of wind affected snow to navigate around. Cornices are growing large along the Unnecessary ridge from this winters SE winds. Found some great skiing on a low angle west facing bowl, but return travel through the trees was your typical crusty spring like travel conditions.
