Dino, Lori & Johannah:  2/1, 1030 - 1630.

Started at GR and skied up Sally Creek, continued on the S fork, went 
due S  to the meadow E of Bear Lake and back to the N fork of Libby Ck. 
and followed it to the switch back on the Libby Creek Trail.  We had 
lunch then skied down the trail and up out of the hole back to GR.  The 
weather was warm, but quite windy.  We saw a party of a Dad w/a teenage 
daughter and friend who were going to snowshoe in the Libby Creek Trail 
area and overnight in a tent.  Met a couple going up Sally Ck who skied 
toward Bear Lake w/ us; at Skinny Dip Hill we met a party of three who 
went N.  On the Libby Ck Tl we met a party of two and a party of  five 
snowshoers.  Three of the five parties were from CO!

The skiing was nice; Libby Ck Tl was very fast.  The snow stake had 22 
in.  There was about 5 in. of newer snow on a soft crust that mostly 
supported you.  Underneath the crust was unconsolidated snow that didn't 
support anything and we saw this at practically all locations- we didn't 
dig a pit, we were doing some orienteering.  We also had some "snow 
plates" collapse (whump) as we skied.  Given the observations and the 
recent occurrances I would say that the avalanche danger is more than 
considerable and may be classified as severe.  Has anyone been up where 
the snowmobilers go and noticed if they are riding steeper terrain and if 
it is releasing or not?
