Skinned to the top of Pigtail Peak at White Pass Saturday. Saw several shooting cracks at pretty much all elevations to 5800 ft, although it became more widespread as we went up in elevation. We avoided avalanche terrain because of this and skiied mellow terrain instead. Coverage was decent and the snow was pretty heavy, even near the top.
