Comments
Skinned up to the White Queen ridge from the nordic parking lot at Whitewater, did not notice any signs of instability on the way up. Dug a pit at the top and rode down. No signs of instability on the ride down. Snow for the first 3 quarters of the way down was light and fluffy, bottom quarter was much heavier.
