The Rock Creek Road is now open to the Pack Station, the usual spring closure, so I roped in my pal Patrick for a tour. We didn't have any specific goal in mind, but this nice chute off the ridge of Mt Starr immediately caught our attention.
Patrick always brings plenty of stoke!
Pointless Peak. The big lines off the right side held a lot of debris and runnels. Not attractive.
Mount Morgan South
Snack break. We booted up left to the ridge.
Sweet views from the ridge. Red Slate center left.
Mt Starr left and Mono Pass down right.
The snow quality was great. Quite smooth high, then more cups and runnels lower, improving again here below the choke.
A little tedious descending through heavily cupped and wind sculpted snow in the forest brought us to the road which provided a nice exit almost all the way back to the pack station.
Fine short tour!
