Comments
5" of new around reynolds peak early this morning. saw significant wind loading from NW into the bowl NE side of the bowl but wind damage apparent. after a run in reynolds glades, was taking a look into the bowl and upper portion of east face released the new snow as a result of my presence. sunlight showed wind damage throughout. after a 2nd glade run, headed out down the shoulder. only minimal sluffing on the descent.
