Comments

Nice day up at Ogden. Coverage is good and the slide paths skied pretty well despite some holes over the creek. Avoided the big alpine run due to the hazard and observed wind loading.

Some whumpfing at the lake edge otherwise no signs of instability on the uptrack or zones skied.

Lots of debris on the fans below Ogden wall. Crowns visible on the steep snowfields above the fans, but nothing significant triggered below.
