Comments
Observed storm slab conditions when approaching convex ridges of moraines.
Observed “woomphing” when approaching these areas. Cracks propagated out 10ft or so. Avoided areas.
Be wary of the lee side of crests in the alpine on N/NE slopes
Other than these areas snow was very supportive and riding conditions were great.
