Specimen Creek

Date

GNFAC,
You’re never going to believe this, but there was tons of whumphing up in Specimen Creek today! There were a few avalanche classes there digging snow pits and getting unstable test results by the sounds of it. We saw a good sized natural on a steep SW facing meadow around 8500’, probably would call it R4D2 but it was hard to get a good look through the storm, it was snowing S1-S2 all day with moderate west winds at the ridgetops. My skin track from the day before was completely gone, bummer. There was a solid 3” on our car when we got back to the trailhead.
Psyched to be powder skiing!
