Snow Characteristics Comments

Super good right side up blower powder. Exceptionally good in the n facing areas where the snow was still soft beneath. Cold smoke lingered in the air for the duration of 4 to 5 turns, giving it a 5 star rating in my book. Stuffing and lightly slashing in the steepest terrain.

Red Flags

Heavy Snowfall

Collapsing

Red Flags Comments

Some light collapsing on really steep areas and some movement in the form of sluff in the 40+ slopes. Wind was howling and I'm sure the upper terrain will be sensitive and heavily loaded.
