Comments

Mild temps throughout the day, light winds at ridge top from the SW, 10-20cm of new snow overnight depending on elevation. There is a crunchy, supportive crust down ~10cm in the valley-bottom up to 1100m.

Rode a variety of aspects in challenging and complex terrain up to 45 deg and sloughing was minimal. Riding near ridge top was on variable surfaces, depending on orientation to wind.
