May 7, 2018, - Hyak

FS road still snow-covered but melting in spots fast. Face done below the road and melting quickly above it. Roz's still goes to the road, Blowdown goes all the way down, Creek Run peters-out near the old top terminal of Easy Gold, Hidden Valley still skiable to the road near the bottom back there, all the Rampart-side trails still well-covered. Snow is dirty and the suncups are growing but it's still skiing well, esp. in the shade.

I went up via the FS road as I knew the creek crossings would be bridged & safe, did a lap down into Hidden Valley via Revelation, skinned-out via Solitude, watched the sun set and descended skier's left of Hyak Face with the alpenglow keeping me company. AFAICT, I had the whole place to myself.
