Snow Characteristics Comments
Settled dry pow in the expected places and cooked, wet gloppy gross snow in sunny aspects. Tree bombs falling like crazy and tree piss was dripping heavily saturating many spots
the good dry pow was supportable and fast, sinking in just 5-6inches or so on turns

Red Flags Comments
Stuff drifts from Previous storm. Rapid warming on the sunny slopes and even the fairly shaded slopes in some areas. Visible wind damage on upper elevation slopes
Sun burn weather, bummer to see all the goodies cook. Still dry pow found in the northerly and NE aspects
somebody wiggled down the wind board from cornice ridge.. interested if that was as damaged as it looked from afar.
