Comments

Snowing heavily most of the day with winds gusting from the east causing blizzard like conditions on the ridgelines. There was a reactive slab that varied from 30-40cm on the North and NE aspects we skied. We saw a class one avalanche release off a steep N aspect but no other avalanche activity during the day
