new coat of paint, low density, but has been moving around. sun/temp crusts underneath new snow, along with assorted windboard, and occasional unexplained hole of facets not necessarily next to trees or anything else. Cornices are huge, have been relieving themselves, but hands down the biggest attention getter (other that the epic snomobile released slide Brett reported last weekend) were all the treed slopes that had run during the cycle, in places we have never seen before, above some of the cabins along the road to Electric Lake. Ridge after ridge ENE facing, around 9000', leaving crowns up into less steep terrain, and again, did we mention in trees? all similar to the area that the very unfortunate fatality occurred in, but on less steep terrain. If we had taken pictures eventually you would become bored out of your skulls. Have to admit, skiing has improved but the more open slopes still harbor breakable crusts.
