Skied Flatiron bowl E. Wind affected near ridge top, but stable and no significant slab concerns in the bowl. Avoided skinning or skiing underneath large cornices along flatiron ridge. E aspect at tree line was mix of unconsolidated storm snow (nice!) and heavier, wetter powder. On solar aspects, snow was heavily sun affected with breakable crust.

Great skiing overall, but warming through the day was affecting all but N aspects
