Comments
Great riding day. SW Winds have certainly played a major factor in distribution. Storm snow levels range a from 25-55cms depending on aspect and elevation. Several natural and machine caused avalanches from sz 1-3 on leeward (where the wind blows) Slabs ranged from last nights developed windslabs (15-20cms) to suspected mid january weaknesses. No new major avalanches seen today although lots of cracking on steep convex features at all aspects while slope testing.
Spicy snowpack. Please ride safe
