Lower Hyalite

Lower Hyalite

Date
Activity
Skiing

Explored slopes in lower Hyalite Canyon between 6000-7000 ft in elevation. Really close to being skiable and good. Otherwise, we found snow depths ranging from 6 inches to 2 feet. Generally very weak and faceted with thick crusts on slopes with a southerly tilt. All this weak snow probably won't be an issue because this area only gets the scraps from storms and never has enough loading to make an avalanche problem.
