Comments

Nothing technical here as we didn’t end up digging a pit due to causing and observing our sled triggered wind slab slide on a North facing mellow slope.

We climbed into the bowl but due to our earlier observations we chose to stay off all steep slopes. It’s hard to do but we made the right call.

-16 at the parking lot.

-5 up top.

Low visibility at times. Cleared several times through the day.
