Backcountry Ski/Snowboard - Snoqualmie Summit Ski Areas

Due to Consierable avalanche forecast for the Snoqualmie Pass area -- choose to tour in the Salmon La Sac area.   We parked in the Salmon La Sac Sno-Park and toured towards Jolly Mtn , generally following the firebreak cut for the 2017 Jolly Mtn Fire.    

There was about a foot of fresh snow in the Sno-Park  -- fortunately I have a high clearance 4wd van.

Trailbreaking required considerable effort -- we took roughly 5 minute turns breaking trail.

Working up the fire break we found coverage to be marginal -- enough snow that creeks were covered for the most part -- but the snow surface still uneven from downed logs.  

We managed to climb to a 3500 ft knob as our 2:00PM turn around time approached.   We took a lunch break here got some glimpses of the surrounding terrain.    

Skiing down was a bit challenging as coverage was thin and the snow was kind of heavy.   We took out time and skied with care and had no incidents.
