Comments

Riding Conditions today were excellent! Waist deep fresh snow. It was very warm but remained below freezing at riding elevation (1500m+)

Yesterday we observed whumpfing around 1500m in a partially open meadow.

Today we observed many natural avalanches size 1-2 on all aspects between 1500-1800m elevation. Appeared to be just the storm snow sliding. No evidence of step downs.
