Comments
30 cm of fist hard snow on top of increasing density, however with wind surface was getting more dense in all but low sheltered trees. Looked like 10cm overnight , and another 5-10 in intense bursts through day. Clouds moving slowly but big gusts at treeline and down to where we were below treeline, filling in both old tracks, and ours in open areas. Some limited cracking off ski tips in surface snow . Minor natural and skiier triggered loose dry sluffing. We mainly rode trees, and ventured into one small, supported avalanche path below treeline - but would not have by the end of the day due to wind transport and more snow. Deep pow and big smiles
