Comments
Route: Skied mellow <30’ lines in Montana, mostly in treeline, to base of Roscoes. Return to RMR via Catchers Mitt.
Snowpack: no immediate signs of instability, whumfs or cracking on the routes we took. One previously released slab avalanche observed to climbers right of Roscoes, approx 1.5-2. Some surface hoar (~6mm or so) observed above treeline in traverse from boundary to Montana.
Skiing conditions: Southern aspects skied well in pockets above treeline, but predominately poor and crusty. Non solar affected aspects skied much better. Very good skiing on Kokanee ridge NW aspect back into Montana. Catchers Mitt in good condition.
Weather: Largely overcast, patches of sunlight but no consistent clear spells. Low to moderate winds throughout.
