Comments

Did not see any signs of natural avalanche activity during the storms other than a couple of loose sloughs on the steepest slopes. Skied a SW facing slope that barely had snow on it before the storms this past week. Still rocky and scoured up high and a little bushy where I skied. I suspect it, and all the other sun exposed slopes will have a crust tomorrow.
