Comments

Spent the weekend at Hilda hut with the intention to checkniut Destiny Ridge and Alpine Connector to Parker's Ridge. Frigid cold temps with the windchill in the alpine and solid, wind hammered slopes kept us mainly at treeline and below. Snow and decent turns still to be found below treeline, but lots of sharks lurking everywhere. No signs of instability noted or signs of recent avalanches.
