Observation: Mt Watson

Travels north from the Trial Lake area are best attempted on foot at this point. Open lakes, creeks, puddles, logs, and rocks make snowmobile travel off road in this area difficult. After a relatively clear morning, skies became cloudy around 0830, and the strongest pulse of spring squall came through around 1130, quickly delivering an additional 1” of snow. Despite it being a cloudy day overall, the strong spring sun was able to turn the light density surface snow damp right around 1300. After this point, surfaces anywhere exposed to sunlight were entraining snow, featured rollerballs, etc. Attached are photos of the surrounding area: Notch/Bald, Anchor, and Weber Cyn.
