I guided some ski touring in the Saddle Pass area today. The snowpack became 
very variable at treeline with boiler plate windslabs and facetted pits sitting 
under 4-15 cm of new snow. We skied two of the slide paths that come off of Mt 
Fairview from treeline down to their choke outs (heavy timber). We had some 
good turns and exited the area via the Saddle Pass summer trail (the way we got 
up there).

Happy trails,
