Comments

Wind pressed snow in most locations all elevations up Summit Creek. Found sun and some pockets of softer riding. South aspects sluffing in past couple days during warm sunny afternoons on past couple days, upper summit creek steep NE aspect we saw older avalanche debris full path likely size 3 due to cornice failure. Wind picked up and switched from North to South on Saturday.
