Comments
We skinned up to the pre Laurel weather station and then skied The Funnel, which contained about 50cm of loosely consolodated snow with a slight crust about 10cm deep. We then toured back up Gold Basin and skied a glade below the East side Tuk. Moraine. We saw evidence of recent snow transportation with few day old tracks being covered, but did not find any reactive snow drifts in the sub 11,000 foot area, though there could be potential for some higher in isolated spots. The wind slabs seem to be failing on a thin layer of graupel which we observed at all elevations skinning to the weather station.
