While on a tour today up hyalite to check out snow conditions, we didn’t see too much recent activity. Old rollers were observed on south faces but we’re almost covered up due to the wind from the past day. I noticed a small wind slab that pulled off a peak west of Divide, head of swan creek. We found 120cm snowpack below Hyalite Peak saddle (9700ft) with two problematic layers. We got an ECTP28 at 40cm due to a ugly layer of sugary facets. We also got a ECTP25 at 80cm which was a wind slab that formed over the past week.
