Comments
We made it up for a day of incredible of riding at the Grove. The North facing aspects held very good snow through the day. All other slopes that caught sun warmed up quickly and became saturated.
We broke loose one 10 foot wide slab on a 40+ degree slope at around 8800 feet (first picture below). Stability was good on all slopes other than expected dry sluffs on steep East and North facing slopes.
