General Observations

Climbed and skied the north face of Minya peak on 3/7. The entire face was wind board and not particularly skiable. We picked our way down the north face after abandoning our plan to ski the south face due to similar looking snow conditions and an unknown crevasse situation at the bottom. Some protected south facing slopes were less stripped of snow than other aspects, but exposed ones (like the south face of Institute) had the same wind boarding issue. We saw no natural releases and the wind board seemed relatively stable, but made for horrid skiing.
