Observations
Found very deep layer of powder most of trip up from Alice Creek along NE approach ridge of Duke/Duchess of Kent. Continued throughout bowl between Mt Kent and Duke/Duchess. Once above 4800’ near saddle below Mt Kent, wind blown slopes had strong crust that withstood our weight. Extremely windy and cold from saddle to summit. Typical wind blown features observed at summit.
