Sacagawea Pass

Hiking up in the Bridger Range from Sacagawea Pass and noticed no faceting of the current snowpack. The snow near the pass and on the ridge is very wind affected as is to be expected and dropping into the bowl on the east side of the Pass the snowpack there has a distinct sun crust. Dug around a little bit at 8600 ft on a NE aspect and found a sun crust of about two inches with what felt like rounded grains below that. Even in the direct sun, the crust was taking a long time to rewarm and was pretty slippery - could be a slippery bed surface if we get a lot of dry snow on top in the next few weeks. Also noticed two small wet loose avalanches in the east facing bowl between Pomp and Hardscrabble Peaks.
