Group of 5 out for the day in the West Bowl of Silver Fork. We attempted to ski Hydeway Park from the top entrance. When we came up to the steeper chute sections we saw that they had slid, probably during the Christmas cycle. There was less than a foot of new snow on the rocky bed surface so instead of attempting to ski or side slip down we reskinned and and climbed back out. Defintiely a place to avoid for awhile
