Observation: Hatcher Pass
Location: Thousand Dollar Run beneath NE face of Hatch Peak
Toured up the 1000 dollar run from first bend in the road to the Pass. No whumphing or shooting cracks. Non-reactive stability tests in pit at 3457′ (see photo below). Evidence of storm cycle, 3-15/16 and 3/19 slab releases (See photos below). An enjoyable day with some old powder on shaded aspects.
