Comments

Skied the southern part of Bald Hills today on N-E ALP slopes up to 40 degrees and NE/S TL slopes. Snow conditions variable in ALP with the best riding at TL. CLR-FEW clouds with L, S winds. Temp in AM -27C; PM -5C.

Several old Na in steep, rocky terrain with one fairly recent Na sz 2.5 likely triggered by a cornice fall on Bald Hills South Peak. Sa SSl sz 1 (5cm x 8m x 5m) triggered on E-facing convex roll at 2300m. No other new avalanches or signs of instability observed. Snowpack at TL had 10cm F snow sitting atop well-settled mid-pack, overlying basal facets and depth hoar. HS 135-200cm.
