Skied No Cats and No Dogs. West and Southeast terrain. At treeline a soft reactive slab was forming on open slopes. Ski cut a size 1 at top roll of No Cats high skiers right side. Wind slab about 20-30cm thick. Stopped on flat terrain below. Skiers right slopes of Cats was slabby. Skiers left very good dry powder. Shooting cracks on most convexities with a few tiny avalanches. Ski quality in open trees was surprisingly good. At valley bottom of Deliverance Trees found 220cm snow. 115cm on top of Jan 15 crust. 20cm new snow on top of Feb 2 rain crust. Ski pen 20-30cm with easy travel. Winds moderate out of north, snowing through day, sky overcast, temp -10ish.
