Comments
Today we decided to capture the low hanging fruit, and keep it easy. 3"-4" of duff lay on yesterdays skin track. 12-15" of new lay on top of a melt freeze crust on the Solar aspects. No slab present where we traveled today, high point being 9800'. Stayed out of Avalanche terrain today, and enjoyed sunny weather with little to no wind, and very good powder riding.
