Nice sunny day at RMR slack country.

Good skiing on features that have been affected by the wind and solar aspects.

Temperature was fairly chill. Moderate winds and snow transport at ridge top. Some up slope winds in the bowls also created some reverse loading and wind lips lower in the alpine.

We skied some freshly formed wind slabs today, knowing they're soft, thin and a low potential for propagation and by choosing well supported features and avoiding thin to thick. But I would be very weary of those as they get more consolidated in the next few days.

There's a lots of people everywhere, beware of who's above or below you.

2 small skier accidental avalanches on fresh wind slabs (see avalanche tab for details)
