Comments
Loud powder riding on the sheltered, north facing slopes. On the ridge we saw ~15' tall cornices developed on the northside (didn't want to get too close, approximate height). Below the cornices was a wind slab ranging from <1" up to 4". Surface hoar has formed throughout the north facing sheltered terrain in this specific area. Poking around on the south facing slopes as we skied out, we saw a pretty stiff sun crust that has formed.
