Comments

Multiple sz 1.5-2 avalanches seen on many aspects. Almost no aspect in the alpine terrain seemed to have escaped the wind's scouring. Ski quality got much better just below treeline, with pockets of protected/deposited snow. Surface hoar was starting to grow in isolated pockets below treeline, not found at treeline or in the alpine.
