Comments

There’s obvious evidence of a recent avy cycle (most of it from yesterday’s warm temps). Emotional Blackmail ran sz2.5, No Socks skier’s left sz2, Iron Curtain to In-Tent-City all sz2, Geronimo sz3(?), Thunderbowl sz2.5

Raincrust was felt only towards lower half of valley bottom but not higher up in Cats, No Socks, etc. with a 60cm of really dry storm snow. Incredible waist deep skiing out there.
