Comments
Travel was up White Pine to Red Baldy. Zipper crust on northerlies extends up to 9000'. At and near the surface, upper few cms of facets have become less weak at the mid and upper elevation polars, but found facets just below that remained sharp and loose. The upper NW of Red Baldy was thin (90cm HS) and a mess of facets, hard slab and crusts. Thinner HS likely due to generally less favorable snowfall than up canyon and due to some scouring by west and northwest winds.
Low tide in the Wasatch.
Excellent light this afternoon.
