The backyard traverse from Mt. Mac to Golden Horn is always an adventure and today proved it again. Excellent pow stash’s at tree line and below. The alpine had a little bit of everything from 2 feet of facets to knife hard sastrugi and everything in between. Observed a significant avalanche in the coal lake riding area with the potential to bury or injure a rider. Few parties were out and about but pretty quiet considering the amazing sunny weather and decent snow if you were looking for it. Thinking about a taking a Sled AST?
