Storm fire break

Riding quality was:

Amazing

Snow conditions were:

• Powder

We rode:

• Mellow slopes

We stayed away from:

• Alpine slopes

The day was:

• Warm

Avalanche conditions

• 30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.

Homogeneous powder to base. Ski pen was ~15-30 cm. Snow was beginning to become more cohesive than powder. No wind effect or slabs seen. I stayed low and didn’t climb beyond the first bench. The creek is still running, and the highway approach (and log crossing) is faster than the mildly rambling skin track.
