Pat Sheehan Traverse - There are still good snow bridges for the initial
crossing out of the parking lot. There's a well used trail up the trees
into Hidden Valley. Ski crampons helped out in the morning, and sped
things up, but you can still get away without. Really good coverage on
the glaciers. Super windy all day out there. Mostly wind pressed snow
with 5cm ski pen. Expect a crust on steep south aspects. Still soft dry
snow on the descent to Castleguard Meadows with ski pen up to 10cm.
Didn't warm up very much at all. Snow stayed firm on the ski out. Very
cool trip!!
