Comments

A trip in the Perry Creek drainage to see what yesterday's extreme wind did to the snow. The alpine is very hammered, as expected. But, sheltered trees had really good snow. There was ~10 cm that fell and got blown in yesterday on top of firm windblown stable snow. The early December layer is 80 cm down and is very solid underneath. We just stuck to the flatter sheltered terrain and found some good stuff.
