Snow Conditions
crusty, powder

Skinned up the short cut but rode the long way down. Not enough snow for the shortcut down. The N.E. & E slope was crusty in the alpine. The SEE slope was better POW below tree line The path down was well compacted and very few stones Didn’t see anything that would give me pause for avalanches, snow pack seemed settled and uniform.
