Comments
Widespread collapsing, especially in sparsely covered, brushy areas. Collapsing continued, albeit decreased in severity with elevation and aspect. Soft to medium density wind slabs on all aspects.In areas with dense slabs there were shooting cracks along the uptrack. Choose to ski conservatively, on 25 to 28 degree slopes. The soft slab was good skiing and fast.
