Bowman Fork11/17/2022 On 11/15 we went up Bowman Fork to see the coverage in the Millcreek area. Not much snow at the trailhead, increasing to 3 ft at 10,000ft. We ended up skiing Yellowjacket N facing, Depth Hoar Bowl NE facing and Bonus Bowl NE facing at 9000ft. All the snow encountered was faceted on the surface which made for slippery travel. The lower elevation Bonus Bowl was covered in surface hoar the size of cornflakes and the exit in the gully had even larger surface hoar. Not much hazard now but the surface sluffs are getting larger in steeper terrain and the weak surface snow will be problematic with a load of snow. We exited out on the upper Millcreek road which has just enough snow to ski to the gate.
