Comments

The warm weather system from the past few days triggered many large natural avalanches.

Today it cooled down quite a bit. Lower elevations were terrible for skinning and boot packing. If you have the grit to get past that the snow up high was good quality. All snow in the alpine had some wind effect on it but we did not find anything too suspicious.
