Comments

Travel was easy this morning, with only crossing a few dirt patches on the approach. Which I’m sure will continue to grow in the coming week….. Found nice wind packed powder, and some cold powder on the true North sheltered terrain. It seemed that the East had softened to almost corn, but other aspects were still hard on my exit at noon. Although it was smooth and edgeable. No signs of instability, and seemed locked in either the wind keeping the surface in check.
