With the Hurricane Ridge road closed >:( our contingent plans lead us up to the slopes above Lake Angeles. After a moderate amount of route finding and schwacking we were on our way toward the slopes below Rocky Peak. Trailbreaking was tough in the deep, heavish snow, and we turned around just shy of the summit with the daylight waning. All in all we found decent snow, reasonable stability and enjoyed one helluva luge ride down the 4 mile approach trail to Lake Angeles.
Nice play.
crazy how much fun a little luging can be!

Your pictures look like fun.
We went up there on the 6th. Air was cold and snow was dry at the lake but it was white out on the slopes above.
Then we saw Dwayne, the red-bearded avi ranger for ONP who had only disparaging words on the snow pack stability.
So rather than risk it (for a day of poor vis above the trees) we baled out. It was a nice hike thru another pretty forest,.
