Comments
Unconsolidated powder skiing with no slab formation in the recent storm snow. Very little wind effect except at the very top of Mammoth Head in the open. On steep slopes, sluff management would be required. Trail breaking, especially below 1600m becomes a real chore with deep ski pen (1metre)
