Comments
Just went out for a walk about to see what has avalanched during the storm and what hasn't yet. Was also curious to see if the crap(facets) had been wiped out. In this case it looked like it had. There was about 6 inches of one finger firmness and about 10 inches of fluff on top. I think if you were to ski the slope your number one concern would be rocks at this point
