Observations
Traveled up to the hairpin valley and traversed across multiple aspects. The snow in upper elevations was surprisingly good for what we expected. Evidence of old wet loose avalanches on sun-facing aspects. No avalanches were triggered. Visible glide crack as shown in the photos at approximately 6600ft on a N/NE aspect. We expected more "spring-like" conditions but were pleasantly surprised with plenty of good turns and a few face shots here and there.
