Much like recent reports from the Yukon Field team and Eirik, the snowpack was tight around Bryant Lake and Summit Creek. We did observe 2 small size 1 slabs on a steep east slope on the west side of Crater Lake but suspect they were from Thursday. Still lots of good sledding to be had in low-lying sheltered spots.
Weather
Cool day but the sun is finally doing its job, and it was a pretty pleasant day. High temp in the shade was -20 at Summit Creek.
Avalanche
Slides were on the west side of the Chilkoot Trail, observed from the notch. Looked similar to those posted by Bill Glude last week.
