Problem #2 Comments
Winds were indeed creating problems again today and we saw some small avys go off from intense winds.
Comments
Mostly drifted snow today around the cherry backcountry. It's great in sheltered areas and it seems like some of the steeper terrain slabbed off in spots (see pics) sluffed in others. Deep out there!
