Problem #1 Comments
There was around a foot of new snow on Broads Fork near the Beaver Ponds. Upcoming party sunny days could result in wet releases or even the usual glides seen above the beaver ponds.
Comments
I snowshoed to above the beaver ponds on broads. The snow was a bit damp near the TH improving to deep powder as I moved up trail.
There was no evidence of any avalanches above the ponds although some smallish releases could be seen on the upper slopes of Bonkers.
Two skin tracks continued up the area below Bonkers where it appeared two skiers hit the lower portion of Bonkers.
