Comments

Lower road is in rough shape. Counted 7 open creek crossings and there may have been more.

Observed 3x natural cornice falls into the north bowl (above the lakes) which triggered wind slabs approximately 40cm deep and 50m wide on the slopes below. The wind slab appeared well-developed from recent SW winds.

6-20cm Rain / melt freeze crust present from the hwy to ridge top.

HS 240cm @ 1600m

We camped on the ridge and temps didn’t drop below 0* in the alpine from Saturday 14:00 - Sunday 14:00

Wolverine in the area! Followed his tracks to the summit. Very cool.
