Walked up under Mt. Raymond today.

Found very interesting snow. That discussion is in the observation.

Noticed the rock slab which makes up the east side of the piece-o-pie run had released down to the bare rock. Other crowns could be seen from the last storm on the rest of the rock slabs.

Of interest were a set of tracks from a skier and snowboarder who had descended into the area via the summit of Mt. Raymond through a gully that was west facing. Hard to tell it the riders were there yesterday (1/20) or on Sunday.

Debris pile was fresh so assume it ran Monday night or early today (Tuesday).

Some may be mocking the persistent reminder of the UAFC that there is still large consequence possibilities out there but I know of at least two people who were lucky this week. Always better to be lucky than good.
