Comments

Riding all weekend was amazing, made sure to be conservative with our terrain choices and adapt to terrain as we came upon it. Lots of reactive slopes and drainages still, evidence of smaller size avalanches along trail banks. Had a 2.5 avalanche remote trigger while we were travelling alone the treeline opposite to the ridge. More snow in the forecast so definitely remain conservative with terrain choice
