Attempt at Mt. Roberts. Logging road alder bash followed by new growth bush bash. Approx 15-30 cm light new powder, deeper where drifting had occurred. Slabbing, cracking, and whumphing on crust 15-30 cm down. Surface hoar growth on crust observed on west facing slopes at elevations above 800 m. Significant warming throughout the day, slush and sun crush by late afternoon. Stayed away from steep slopes but even parts of skin track were sliding in terrain up to 32 deg. Beauty day for views and good company and getting real close and personal with the trees…
