Comments

Light to moderate winds from the south are moving snow around creating soft slabs on lee slopes and growing cornices on ridges. BTL trees have shed their heavy snow loads bombing out most glades, however even the bombed out areas are still skiing ok. Vis was poor, snowing 1-2cm an hour, temps mild but snow surface dry. Iron Curtain slide path surprisingly untracked!
