Someone TP'd my truck.

Toured the classic Running Rabbit Traverse - Pallidrome-Sheilds-Snowslip-Running Rabbit and out to the Goat Lick Bridge.

• Light to moderate winds in the am, becoming calm by 1 or so.  This helped keep the temps down.
• Some cloud cover in the AM, clearing by 2 or so. This also helped preserve snow quality on some aspects.
• Temps were below freezing for the day on our tour, but we stayed above 5500'
• Did not see any signs of avalanches or instability.
• Did notice some instance from last weeks storm that there were strong ridge top winds.  See picture.
• Most leeward (northerly and easterly aspects) had great snow/ski quality uneffected by the wind.
• South and West aspects experienced a bit to much solar heating and developed a sun crust. In some places up to 8k.
• There are some huge, over developed conices and a few spots that appear to have wind slabs/deposits that must be 40' deep.  Just obs from previous tours.
• We skied northerly and easterly aspects,  up to 40*,  ski quality was excellent.
• On the exit out Snow Slide Gulch, skiing was good down to 5500' then it became wet.  South and west aspects were crusting over and below 5500' the snow pack was isothemal and unsupportable.  Anything that did not receive direct sunlit was wet but supportable.
• Increadible coverage this year, slid right back down to the truck.
