Meadow Chutes
Comments
Today we went into the Meadow Chutes via Greens Basin. We were protected from the worst of the wind for most of the day until we got to the ridgeline. Although there was some snow transport that we observed, it wasn't as much as I had expected given the amount of new snow we received. The new snow, at upper elevations, is medium density which may have contributed to the lack of transport observed. At mid and lower elevations the snow was already becoming wet and on our way down we observed small roller balls on an East facing aspect.
