Comments
We explored the Disease Ridge zone today. Calm wind, gusting from SE, with light snow, overcast all day. Many parties were out. No observable avalanches in our area, and no observable whumpfing nor cracking.
We did an ECT N 21 Down 50cm in storm snow, on a 32 degree slope, facing north west.
