Problem #1 Comments
The only concerning issue was sluffing within the new snow. See photo of attached sluff at 7000ft.
Comments
The surface was rimed with little wind even on the ridges. Nice turning even on the south slopes as they were not wind affected and still cold and dry, a rare thing for this area. No red flags other than new snow sluffing.
Photo 1 of the ridges with rime and no wind!
Photos 2,3 of 5 inch surface sluff, 50ft. wide and ran 100ft. At 7000ft.
