Comments
Crust on all aspects and elevations except over 9000 feet in steep north facing terrain. South and west facing slopes had a very stiff crust that softened up into decent corn skiing later in the day. Some avalanching seen on timp as the sun warmed things up, notable was what looked like a large slide coming off the rocks in pika Cirque. Not much avalanche or wet slide activity seen along the LCC Ridgeline.
It was hard to tell but there was a possible slab avalanche that likely triggered during the last storm cycle on box elder close to tibble fork reservoir.
