Will Hyak be open for touring this weekend? I see that west and alpy are opening but no mention for hyak/east. Hoping to have a mellow day with the GF on something easier to get to and lower angle for safety.

Hyak will not be open this weekend so you should be fine for touring. Keep in mind it is still really brushy. There is also rusty metal debris under the snow which shouldn't be a problem but just keep that in mind.

Coverage for skinning is good enough on both the face and lower angle routes. For skiing down, the road is in good condition and the easier ways are fine with some brush. I skied the face and Roz's before this latest shot of snow it was very brushy. Brush taller than me. But i made it down without much trouble just very limited on the places to make turns.

Even though Hyak will not be operating they could still be out there grooming so maybe you'll have some fresh groomers.

sliver fur may be a good option if maintenance is on the hill at the hack.

I went up there today and it was 6-8 inches of wet cement. Very heavy, very bushy.
