Observations

Traveled up to hidden lake peak today. Lots of debris on the summer trail from the recent warm up. Little to no overnight freeze up to about 5000' combined with 2-3" of new snow led to some wet loose action in the afternoon. We stuck to Simple N Facing terrain and found the skiing quality good from the summit down to 5000'.
