Skinned up the Lady around 6 under light winds and cold temps. Snow picked up to S1 at treeline and winds were 10 mph gusting to 25.

Snowpack

Bootpen on skin track was from foottop to knee deep at times. Skied Glades. Snow was windbuffed and slabbing up near treeline with boottop penetration around 7:30. Boot to shin deep penetration below treeline. We heard one small, localized whumpf on a roller near treeline. No other avalanche activity observed throughout the tour.
