I couldn’t rally anyone to get out, so I stuck to familiar terrain and went for a leisurely tour on Kendall. I decided to scope out some of the chutes on the backside, and ended up skinning to nearly the top of the ridge, which required some dexterity towards the top as the wind packed snow and tight approach proved tricky. I had great views of Gold Creek Valley and walked along the ridge, getting some beta on the entrances to some of the chutes. The ski back out was decent, but nothing to write home about.
