Broads Fork11/21/2021 Took the long walk into Broads Fork today. Starting at an elevation around 6000ft it required walking on dirt for the first 2500ft to 3000ft of vert. Basically didn’t put on skis until the bottom of Bonkers. Decided to head up the Diving Board first which is right below one of the SLC Twins. The main face had a supportable base with about 5 inches of graupel on top. Once we got to the top it was obvious that the shallower snow pack in this terrain was faceting at a faster pace than the deeper snowpack in upper LCC. The starting zone is rotting out quickly and on its way to becoming non-supportable. Same scenario in Bonkers. Beautiful bluebird day today, but we need some snow if we want the to keep the pack from rotting out completely. Pray for snow.
