Comments

In Deliverance valley bottom and Geriatric route, a soft 2cm crust formed on westerly quadrant features yesterday from daytime heating. Still powder on NW and N features in same area, and in more dense trees.

One small whumph on micro-feature while breaking trail up Geriatric.

One skier-triggered sz 1.5? slab observed in lower Fish n Chips, assume from yesterday.
