Modest start around 7am to head to the top of Snoqualmie mt.

Bit scrappy skinning through the trees but the Jan/Bruce skin track from Sat was still in place up higher and mighty fine.

Slot was still in great condition - Jan's groups tracks and one other twosome's still visible but a lot of good still around.

Great track back up Thunder Creek.

Ski down the Phantom was already turning to mush down low but still good coverage.

Bros working hard tearing down Alpy. Sorry guys, was going to come help but decided to ski instead  :)

Skiied north side of Kendall down towards Alaska lake. Safe on north facing everything else seemed sketchy,  a lot of natural slides.
You guys see any action?

SE facing slopes were starting to entrain snow if something got it moving. Still pretty solid all other aspects at the time of the trip.
