Problem #1 Comments
Cornice formations are present along ridgetops after recent high winds.
Comments
Skied up Tony Grove road, then followed approximate route of trail to the top of Mt Naomi. SE, S and SW aspects were generally stable, with no observed cracking or movement. Risk will obviously increase significantly in the coming days as the next storm is forecast to add over 12” of new snow.
