| I guided in King Creek today, Jan 19th. All the ice is in great shape. The creek has over-run the approach trail in a couple of places forcing some detours. Also of note is that as of 2 pm, when we were walking out, none of the avalanche gullies that runout into the creek had slid since the last, big, storm. I was keeping an eye on them on the way in, doubly so on the way out as the sun was coming onto the south facing ones. These avalanche tracks are narrow enough that you would have a chance of running out of the way, if you saw a slide coming. Keep an eye on them, look up, especially with the afternoon sun.
