Comments

Travel today was West and South Monitor, No Name Bowl. Still a few rouge shallow wind slabs that were reactive today just of the high ridges, only in the steepest terrain. Pics, skier initiated wind slab on a steep NE facing roll in West Monitor, natural wind slab that must have occurred at the end of the storm in South Monitor.

Wet activity was kept to a minimal in the areas traveled by the wind, but there was some wet activity down out of the wind in No Name Bowl on the SE facing part of the bowl.
