Route & General Observations

Took the dog for a post work ski up to Hatch Pk. We toured the road, up Bennetts Ridge, and up the standard ridge uptrack to the weather station. The Hatcher roadside of Skyscraper had multiple small dry loose avalanches that hit the road. Im guessing these were from last nights storm?
The road up to the mine had not been plowed. Packed powder with pockets of heavy slush.
Snow was almost one Xtra tuff deep in the parking area.
