Comments
We skied pulpit 1&2 was cloudy in the morning -14 C at the car at 8am, we skied down to slope to the valley bottom where it was much warmer but didn't take a temp. -15C at the top of pulpit 1at roughly 10am where we popped out on top of the clouds, -9C at the car roughly 2pm. On the south aspect of pulpit 1 we observed a crust on steep solar slopes/features up to 2cms thick (see pic). Other than a decent amount of slough coming down as we skied chute 2 there was no wumpfing or significant signs of instability noticed on slopes we were on. However noticed what looked to be some loose dry activity on solar aspects of bow peak and pulpit peak (see photos). Also noticed some surface hoar developing on many slopes and aspects today
