Angora peak sns

I went for an SNS up Angora peak this morning to evaluate the coverage and condition of the snowpack before new snowfall(hopeful). Biking was good traction and the skinning started out crusty and thin. Up below the false summit it became quite the rock garden. The slope below the actual summit was better but still thin. Skiing down was mostly pleasant soft snow but some rocks lurking with no clues and lots of rocks to maneuver around. There was some deteriorating snow in places but healthier than I thought from what I've seen in meadows below. 
Beautiful spring like weather mildly breezy I felt fortunate to return unscathed with only minor scratches on the skis. Singletrack hazards include avoiding clipping skis and handlebars on trees and logs while descending through whitethorn city.
