Alpental Still Going

Nice day for a tour. The skin track up the south side of Debbies Gold was quite good considering the lack of snow. Only a couple of creek crossings.
Continued up the Edelweiss side. The usual route through Upper
Rollin was very sketchy so we continued to Schluct where we had to boot pack about 50 feet. Had a nice cool one at the top and headed down International. Snow was consolidated but still nice skiing down Upper International. Lower I to the left side was reasonably good as the sun baked crust had soften making for some nice high speed turns. From the cat track down was challenging to say the least. Had to remove the skis about 1/2 the way down Sessel. Slush with rocks below not very enticing.

Looks like Silver Peak will not be a spring option this year. Really like the hike and run towards Lake Annette.
