The South Lake Road is open to Parcher's Resort now. Plowed to South Lake too, but that section is still closed to traffic. I took advantage of the access to tour up to Brown Lake and on up to pt 12862'. I left the little parking area at 7am. The snow was solid with a nice refreeze, so I booted all the way using crampons for the Parcher's slope and the ascent of the peak.
Bluff Lake with my ascent route back left up the bowl. Folks looked like they had good runs off the ridge on the right too.
Brown Lake. Lots of suncups on the flats and many of the lower angle slopes.
Looking down to Brown Lake.
Runnel city, but the lookers right zone skied well.
Always nice to summit! Agassiz distant/far left. Picture Puzzle mid/left, and Goode right.
Looking down the South Fork.
Honestly, I wasn't sure the skiing was going to be that great owing to the runnels and texture, but the snow had softened perfectly by about 10:45 providing quite fun turns.
The Parcher's slope skied well too.
Skied right to the car. Always nice! Good medium day in the hills.
