Comments

Skiing in the Asulkan Valley today. Snowed ~20cm overnight at the hut. About -10 this AM. Some wind affect found in prone places. Storm snow mildly reactive in hand shears. Skied a variety of aspects including the Youngs Headwall and Peak 2672. A few small natural wind slabs and one serac triggered size 2 observed. Many parties skied the Young Traverse, Forever Young, and Thorington. Excellent boot to knee powder in sheltered aspects. A couple small wet slabs observed ~2000m.
