Comments
Overall snow from Jan 5, 2024 was light and came in without wind. Between the faceting of the old snow and the light new snow we experienced some skier induced sluffs on Wilson Chutes. These were small to moderate in size and could be managed by skiing out of them, provided the terrain allowed. I didn't measure the slope angle, but estimating it is around 35 deg or so.
