Comments

Early in, early out. Found some unreal mellow pow off the proctor ridge and down to fairy creek. Surprisingly little wind effect/slabbing on the surface. New snow was bonding poorly to the various crust (rain/sun/melt freeze) and better to the wind affected surfaces. We opted to start early in the cold and avoid any surface wetness with the high solar.
