Comments
Got some decent turn out at little sands. There were tons of big natural avalanche probably due to heavy loading and the recent rise in temps. Lots of slopes on the way in appear to have slid again while out for the day with the solar radiation. Up high temps were below zero and we found some surprisingly stable slopes with a 15cm wind crust. Found a sugary layer approximately 40 cm deep however was pretty stable and propogated on tap 8 from the elbow. All and all a beauty to ride the right slopes!
