Comments

Skied the west face of Mt Tanner. Lots of cool terrain in there area but the walk in was long even though we were able to get pretty high up Grano fsr which was plowed with a bit of fresh snow on top. On the mountain we found ~10cm of soft snow with a solid layer underneath and lots of surface hoar on top. We saw no signs of avalanches in the area although on our way up the mellow treed slope on the south face there where plenty of signs of warming due to the sun. The west face was still in the shade when we skied it around 11:00 AM
