Comments
Touring back up the NE face after skiing backyard chute, there were a couple wumpfs. I worked the terrain as carefully and cautiously as possible. Touring through some trees there was a wumpf, and just ahead and above me a small slide let loose on a steep roll. Seemed to be the storm snow sliding on the buried temperature crust from last week. Everything else I skied and toured today was more sheltered and didn’t show signs of slabbing up. Only the more open and exposed NE face seemed to have slabbing and tricky avy conditions
