Quick Observation

Toured up to the swan crest from the flathead valley side, curious what fs roads were looking like and also to get an idea of dirt to snow ratios.  Snow surfaces ranged from a breakable 1-2 in crust to corn mixed with rollerballs.  Noticed a [d2?] wet slab/landslide hybrid that was probably a couple days old, but impossible to tell..
