Up to Gin Peak via Hanging Lake Trail today. We were able to ski the lower trail up and down, but it’s very thin and especially treacherous on the way down. Lots of bushes, small trees, sticks, logs, etc. to catch your skis. Skied the north side of Gin from the summit down to Rainbow Lake and saw no signs of instability. Just wonderful powder. We saw some small crowns and debris on that slope that most likely came down during the storm but were already buried by quite a lot of new snow.
