Comments

New storm snow had made natural avalanches in steeper terrain. Wind was moving snow in open areas so we stayed a little lower in the trees. Dry snow above 1600m but slab avalanches were a concern on steeper terrain. Good skiing and sledding out there right now but the new snow is still sensitive if you touch it in the right places.
