Comments

Widespread natural cycle on almost all steep slopes in the area. These storm slabs ran during the storm and the debris and crowns have 10-15cm covering them now. No fresh naturals were observed and the new snow seems to be bonding well in most places. We ski cut pockets of hang fire and small unsupported test slopes and observed no shooting cracks and very limmited propagation. We did however get Wuhmps and settlement in sheltered areas likely on old SH. Deep trail breaking and almost too much snow to ski mellow slopes.
