Skied north side of Sleeping Beauty Mountain between 1600m and 500m. Snow was cold and dry in the morning on north and east slopes however by afternoon 1100m and below snow became heavy all aspects and at valley bottom moist and sticky. Small loose wet surface slabs released with turns BTL along with 50cm pinwheels from snow falling off trees. Tried to limit our time below cornices.

No recent avalanche activity on alpine slopes.

Bridge has been removed at km 10 just before the NEH fuel cache on the FSR up the Erlandsen River adding 2km of uphill both ways travel. With all the deactivation ditches it added 45 minutes getting to 12km where we went up the valley.
