Parked 2 miles up Twin Lakes Road. (Vehicles with higher clearance / chains made it to mile 3 - 4.) Light snow all day. Visibility wasnt great. Probably about 2 of accum. between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Climbed Winchesters S ridge. The creek crossing below Twin Lakes is easily manageable. About 24 of new snow. No signs of instability. Ran into some wind slab at 6200. Didnt climb above that. We skied the S ridge back down the direction we came. Light to moderate westerly winds.
Great first day of the season!
