Comments
Nice cold day with, thankfully, a few sunny breaks. Still evidence of this weekend's natural cycle with lots of soft slab avalanches still visible. These didn't seem to step down anywhere and we didn't see any activity that appeared to have slid in the past 24h.
Skiing in North Bowl was great with a bit of wind affect up high that quickly faded into smooth settled powder. There was debris in the STS fan but it was soft, originating from a storm slab with a crown in the lower widening section of the path.
As a side note, I'd love to see more MIN reports coming out. There's lots of experienced backcountry users riding here and it'd be great for the community to share simple observations. Even I can make these reports, it can't be that tricky.
