Comments

Beauty day to be out, checking on the home zone. The wind last week built new cornices and formed wind slabs at TL on E aspects. Wind effect extends well below tree line, and there were several trees down on the road in. ~10cm of new snow, less than reported further West. Ski quality was good in sheltered, low angle terrain, on E-NE aspects. Surface snow was becoming moist in the sun, and we saw numerous small wet loose avalanches from steep South facing terrain.
