Comments
Wind/storm slabs were active mid-mountain in upper LCC on SE ridges. We had one break at the rider's feet on Toledo Chute (far lookers left line) that went a little bigger than we expected.
Second photo was a long existing crown as we were exiting for the day down Two Trees, again SE sub ridges well below drop in.
Did not inspect either zone for specific instability.
We dropped Toledo Chute, Holy Toledo, and Two Trees. These were the only instabilities we saw today. Otherwise quite fluffy, mostly bottomless, unconsolidated, and lots of trail breaking where you couldn't see your skis for multiple steps in a row. Knee deep skin was the norm. Thanks for showing up winter!
