We haven't been up Pleasant Creek for sometime now. This is not a canyon you want to be in with any significant avalanche danger. It is a unique canyon on the Skyline as it perhaps receives the deepest snowpack of any. We found depths of almost 3 feet in the upper bowls. These depths are quite a bit more compared to the Fairview Canyon/Skyline Summit area. This is also a bit more than I've seen in Ephraim Canyon and vicinity. The bad news is that there is still WAY too much weak snow near the ground and it will continue to be a concern during future snow loading events. The more northerly facing slopes are also showing signs of the surface snow starting to weaken under the "near surface faceting" process.

If we ever see a decent snow storm this winter yet, I highly recommend avoiding this canyon during and directly after the storm. The main road crosses underneath NUMEROUS avalanche paths from low in the canyon all the way to where it meets Skyline Drive. I'll be surprised not to see avalanche activity in this canyon at some point.
