Comments
Numerous natural size one windslabs last night observed around bow hut, with moderate to strong west winds and intense snow transport overnight and into today. One larger size two natural avalanche observed yesterday the NE face of Trapper peak <24h old. All aspects have seen wind effect and good turns are hard to come by, though travel is good.
