Comments
Today was a clear day with great views into the alpine. We covered a lot of ground today and did not see any fresh avalanches from alpine start zones. We did notice the west winds pick up and noticed snow transport at ridge tops. Trail breaking and sled access remains challenging to do a low and unconsolidated snowpack. As soon as you step off the trail you end up buried crotch deep.
