Comments

Great day of heli accessed ski touring on Mount Adrian. Mod-strong NW winds from early AM had formed wind slab and wind effect at ridgetop. Anywhere protected provided excellent powder skiing. Breakable suncrust on any solar aspects.

A few old storm slab releases observed to size 2. One skier accidental size 1.0 on an immediate lee feature right below ridgeline down 10cm in windslab.
