Went for a nice sunny afternoon lap on Summit Hill after a rocky morning on Log Cabin North Face. Snow got a little wind affected the day before, but surprisingly less at Summit than up Log Cabin which had a pretty thick hard to manage soft crust. Snowpack is substantially deeper at Summit Hill with very few rocks compared to Log Cabin which we thought was pretty sketchy, even on mellow slopes. We saw no sings of avalanches but stayed away from the alpine which showed evident signs of wind slabs.
