After bailing on Alpental for reasons I'll post separately, I figured I'd see what was up at Hyak. A number of creek crossings and a few little moulins in places down low. The very bottom is the only reason it's not open yet! Some well-established skin tracks heading up the face. After heading into the fog up the face, the sun came out for the backside and it was a beauty. Snow up top was quality in the morning, but there wasn't too much of it - 6"+ of quality sitting on dense wet. Lots of tracks - lots of people up getting some turns in. By mid-day it was getting pretty wet and heavy.
