Thanks for the report! Have a trip planned for this weekend, so this really helps. :)
Yeah the only part of our trip where visibility was really, consistently bad, was below about 7000 ft on Sunday. Above that though, and on Saturday, it was variable. Sometimes 100 ft, but sometimes...

Always kinda nice when you get 5+ feet of new snow in the days leading up to Groundhog Day. :thumbsup: As alpymarr says, "I love big dumps" ;D
Huh.. didn't see that trail, TS. We were following an 3- or 4-day old skin track, off and on, but didn't see any flagging.The road was driveable, but not by my Honda CRV. On the...
I'm curious ... the main slope/route leading up to Pan Point is more or less just "above" (from photo's perspective) the slide area, correct? (Looker's left of the tree patch...

Good times, for sure, while they lasted... bummer about the binding. Was also good to learn a few more things about snow, see some of the stuff that my two Avy One classes had talked about but never...
