Snow Conditions

crusty, windAffected

Skied rainbow via the SW route. Hanging lake access requires sporty skinning and waking down for the bottom 100m or so of vert. There was a zipper crust on S/E/W aspects all the way into the alpine capping creamy snow. The crust didn’t negatively affect ski quality too much except for the slopes directly above hanging lake. N aspects approaching the summit were heavily wind pressed and firm. Lots of time and sastrugi up around the summit block. No signs of instability observed. No SH observed in treeline or alpine.
