Comments
Almost no wind the entire tour and I think we saw and skied facets from radiation recrystallization in the early am on S facing flagstaff/Emma's that were then gooped away but remained on east facing mid and upper elevations of west bowl. Might be a layer of concern on east facing slopes if the next storm comes in without wind. Cool to see the metaphoric process and of course made for a very sparkly ride.
