Box Elder - a magnificent peak that holds its mystery from the casual drive by on I-15. It takes a bit of work, but worth the effort - there is unbelievable folding of the strata noted on the west ridge of the great northwest cirque, large open bowls to the east, and the classic shotgun chutes off the north ridge proper.

Noted a size 2.5 avalanche - a natural from likely March 11 - similar to the one noted in upper Hogum fork here.

After tagging the summit, we chose to avoid the wind swept bullet proof northwest cirque and skiied the skier's left Shotgun Chute - safe now with the last few storms above the old bed surface/ground from a March 7th close call.
