Comments
Weekend up at Wendy Thompson Hut. On Sunday we saw a size 2 on a N facing slope adjacent to "honey bronzed and very desirable," likely from a cornice failure. We also noticed rapid warming and a lot of pinwheeling on S and W facing slopes, so we stayed away from those aspects. The N and E facing slopes we riding great, they had deep powder and minimal wind effect.
