Comments

Busy day in the Camel's Hump! We rode NW aspects of Camel's Hump and found good to amazing turns in sheltered areas. Wind loading evident with the previous day's tracks all but covered and moderate to strong S/SW wind in the morning. Hand shear on open NW aspect had easy planar results 30-40cm down, however no other signs of instability noted. We broke off a few minor slabs while skiing more open

areas.
