Beehive

Skied out to the head of beehive basin for a fitness / recon tour. Made it about halfway up the head wall to the pass between Beehive and the Mirror lake basin. At lower aspects boot top powder with surface hoar predominated with patches of breakable sun crust. Higher in the basin (2800-2900m) south facing aspects were thin, windblown, and sun effected. Ski conditions were completely breakable sun crust by apx 5pm. Lots of moving snow on south facing aspects. I did not dig a pit. See attached photos. In the panorama, most of the chutes to the right of the arrow (4th of July couloir) had slid, it looked like it was mostly limited releases from sun warmed rocks. I did not see any natural slides to the left of the arrow.
