Even though the weather has warmed up and no pack refreeze had occurred, we found great creamy settled powder in upper Electric Lake Bowl. Snow depth is still very shallow and terrain hazards galore exist, we were able to make several laps in the upper bowl, and even one tenative center punch despite the rocky ledge mid bowl.
Weather was overcast. muggy, and warm, but what precip fell was snow, had intermittent blasts of sun through the clouds
Warm temps had stablized entire pack, but did find evidence of buried surface hoar layer in our pit that could cause some problems down the road.
Heres the snowpit
Exit shot was great skiing with filtered backlight sun
Also spend some time helping set up the Beacon Basin at the summit, it is a beacon practice area available to all in partnership with the Forest Service, BCA, and local merchants.
