Comments
Rode the sled up and toured at upper TL between 1600 and 1900 near Brandywine Meadows. Lots of easy to trigger soft slab, shooting cracks. Supportive feeling snowpack but feeling like heavy density snow on top of a lighter layer in top 40. Snowing S1 and blowing moderate to strong all day. Obscured skiea all day. Rain snow line at about 1000m.
