Hyalite Canyon

Skinned up into Maid of the Mist Basin and dropped over the ridgeline into the Basin below Mount Bole to ski a couloir to the north. We found widespread windslab on all aspects, nothing was reactive, but it was enough to make the skiing bad and unpredictable - one turn would be great, the next you'd be in breakable crust. 

We dug 2 snowpits, both on SE-facing slopes at about 9600ft. Dug down ~100cm in each pit looking for near-surface instabilities. Had no unstable test results, but found a lot of weak faceted snow in both pits. Lots of people out skiing didn't observe any avalanches or signs of instability.
