Person took 100' ride and was not buried
Forecaster Notes: Wonder if some southeast facing slopes have a thin layer of buried facets or surface hoar on the crust.
May 3, 2024- this note about buried facets or PWL under the new snow matches some of the other observations that came in during this time period during mid-March 2008.
