Hyalite lake

I took a tour up the main fork of hyalite and approached a west facing wall near hyalite lake. at around 9200 feet I dug a pit to check the snow pack
I could tell the snow pack structure was not great because while skinning up I would either sink deep into the snow pack or stay on top the wind crust
Here is what I found
Slope angle 37deg
105 snow depth
ECTP 20
Failed 25cm off ground on large grain facets
Snow structure was not good and I did not ride that slope and went back down my skin track

The wind over the past week really hammered the snow above hyalite lake

I did find good riding below the lake
