Comments
Seen many red flags 🚩🚩🚩🚩 today so we decided to have a fun day smashing pow on small slopes and meadows. On test slopes we had failures down 25cm on the old facets. Small avalanches were observed. The day was overcast and snowing heavily above 1300m below 1100m it was raining pretty good making for some sketchy roads. Moderate SW winds at tree line were transporting snow around and looked stronger in the alpine. The best riding we found was around 1500m
