Comments
Slabby and inverted conditions up on Emma's today. Found a mixed bag of dense storm snow, wind loading, and powder. Shooting cracks were easily triggered in loaded areas. Not sure how quickly I expect this to heal and with more snow on the way I'm definitely feeling wary of steep and consequential terrain.
