Comments

Good ride in the torpy we made it back to the meadows. Lots of fresh snow wind loading on north east facing slopes. we saw some minor wind slabs but I found that the recent fresh snow is bonding well with the ice layer from the previous warm spell, we stayed clear of any steep alpine slopes. Thanks to the north Rockies field team for giving us a bit of gas to get back to the trucks!
