Group skied Sat-Monday, mostly lower angle glades up around Lyle Creek, away from the location of this snowpit. Snowed all 3 days & nights. Av conds for area were considerable. Despite no evidence of activity we stayed clear of runout zones. Monday became warm at lower elevations with wet and heavy snow. Should be noted the location of the snowpit was not where the group skied. The drop in through dense, steep glades was fun, but the drainage on the East side of Whitewater Creek is not ideal for skiing.
