At the DBB, I dropped down the north side but more towards the east where the trees are. I continued down to 7700 ft, which is about halfway down to Stockton Flats. I wasn't feeling the climbing today so an 800 ft climb was more than enough for me. I was looking forward to coming home early.
Nothing too exciting to report. The snow had a crust on it everywhere, but the underlying snow varied a lot. Some spots were powdery, while others were icy. What else is new? Steepest angle in one of the chutes was about 42°. Saw some snowboard tracks that seem to go on all the way to the bottom. But no hiker/climber tracks other than my own. It is very peaceful back there, but if you have an accident you're on your own.
