Powderjunky: March 31, 2011 Uphill: 500 ft. | Downhill: 700 ft.
The berm up to the Glory bootpack is now officially class five as someone has slung a rope around a sign to aid getting over it. I would normally say class four as if you slip and fall there is the possibility of falling into traffic.Ug-blah-ick is the scientific term for today. Started hiking up glory, didn't even make it half way.. Noticed a crust forming the higher we went. Saw some people trying to ski down by traversing the whole slope.
There were good soft turns between the elevation of 8400 - 8500 ft. Ha!
Jumped the road and it was super soft and unsupported, the out track took forever as it was super sticky.
One bad day, oh well.
