Comments

Lots of fun skiing on beautifully preserved snow (having to avoid wind affected areas) - we encountered powder all the way to the valley bottom. The January crust was evident 30-60 cm down wherever we looked but couldn’t get anything to move. Signs of slab avalanches from last week on west end north aspects.
