Upper Hyalite
Date
Activity
Skiing
Several inches of dense new snow really made great skiing and riding on top of either an ice crust or firm layer of snow from recent sun and warm temps.
Winds had moved snow at upper elevations.
Total snow depth on a NE aspect was 230 cm (7.5 ft). Right side up and strong. Dust layer from Feb 4th was 70 cm deep (28 inches) with no facets under it.
The main avalanche problem seemed to be wind slabs.
