Comments

We skied the NE aspect of tent ridge. There was a decent ~15-20 cm of soft powder on top of a layer of crust.

We avoided avalanche runoff areas although there was clear evidence of a recent (longer than a week old, less than a month old) large slide (size 3+) in the area. We started early and were skiing cream cheese on the way out (13:30).
