Skied some of the chutes out at Viking today. Not much snow at the trailhead so had to boot pack a bit. Pretty messy in the trees. Lots of sticks and such everywhere. Once we got up high there was a number of quite evident crowns on the North aspect that we were on. Appeared to be areas that have seen fair amounts of sun though. They were consistently on slopes that looked to be pretty well right between 35° - 40°. Tried to attach a picture but not sure if it worked. Lots of big cornices that are still melting away and breaking off. Snow in the shade up high was boiler pan ice. Still some good missions to be had out there.
