Comments

Started our hike over to the ridge around 10:00, visibility was okay, but by the time we hit the saddle, we had lost all vis. Made the decision to just ride powder 8's into the valley. Snow was a little wind affected at the top, but the quality increased as we descended. Stuck to some more sheltered riding around mary's run and prayer flags afterwards and the snow was amazing. A bit heavier down lower towards the valley.

The wind was blowing out of the north, moving around a lot of snow today.

Noticed a couple of 'slabby feeling' sections as we traversed north bowl but no major signs of instability.
