Comments

Great day out on Dolomite traverse! Boot top pow was mostly untouched by wind, however the sun made intermittent appearances and acted fast. Moist snow in the final tree decent to the highway, and we noticed slabs that had been triggered below sun exposed cliffs. Slabs were size 1-2 including one that ran over ski tracks off of Puzzle Peak.
