Comments
We stayed in low angle protected terrain and found great riding and challenging but not horrific trail breaking. Small test slopes were unreactive. Hasty pits showed easy failure in the new storm snow with no tendency to propagate. Observed very little natural activity (our visibility and filed of view was very limited). Visual indications were that hazard level was moderate, but seeing the weak deeper layers and the rapid transport with the slightest wind left us with no desire to get into steeper and more wind-affected terrain. Additional wind will be a game-changer.
