Working on route up west face of Mt. Loafer. Made a lap today to up to 8500' before i ran out of time. Winds had done there damage last Tuesday, with most significant drifts on southern sides of ridges, then capped with a breakable crust just to make things interesting. direct route out involved some serious bush-whacking, but northern aspects did have some pretty good skiing in weakening surface snow. Steeper slopes would sluff surface snow, but just top 6" or so. Pictures of avalanche path that stopped just short of lots for sale in Woodland Hills, other pictures of West mountain and Oqquirhs way off in the distance. Overall a nice day with little wind, temps in 20's, and partly cloudy skies. Sun did not make it over the mountain before I was down.
