After a great window of high pressure, last week brought two and a half feet of new snow to the top of Turnagain Pass.
Waking up in the morning dusk, we followed the old mining road up the creek.
But, the high pressure had a downside, it left a weak surface for the new storm snow to bond to. As it slowly got lighter, we were treated to a view of Twin Peaks:
By the time we reached the upper basin, there was a foot of new snow sitting on a settled base.
Wanting to take advantage of the new snow, but to avoid the danger associated with a thick slab we headed to the southern end of Turnagain Pass.
