Snowmobiling

Rode up the Taylor Fork today. Broken sky at the trailhead, quickly moving to overcast and then snow (S1) by 10-10:30. Sustained strong winds from the S. HS 80-120cm at 9200’, entirely facets capped by varying thicknesses of slab- 2-30cm thick. Widespread large surface hoar in protected areas. 
Slabs were touchy, no other signs of instability noted but vis was terrible. Good riding at upper elevations in sheltered zones. Road is a terrifying mix of whumps, rocks and ice.
