Comments
Felt like 20-30cm's storm snow sitting on a firmer layer as a cohesive soft slab. No obs of concern (Whumpf's, shooting cracks, visual obs) noted at all during the day. Slab appeared to be well bonded on aspects (N & S) we skied off Ripple Ridge. No specific testing completed (pit) just obs on the fly. Great skiing.
