Comments
Walk through the Bumps to see what the recent storm brought. Wide variety of conditions encountered from 1500-2200m. Most noticeable variations at and near ridgelines. NW through N to NE held slabs to 55cm deep below ridgetops. Some shooting cracks on NW asp. Ski cuts producing size 1's to 35cm deep crowns on 40+ degree start zones. Witnessed two skier accidentals (sz1) on steep NNW asp at 1900m. No skier involvement.
