Comments
Tour to the dome with hopes of skiing one of the backbowls. Strong to extreme? North winds quickly changed that plan and led to a hasty retreat via waterfall trees
Widespread windslab observed at and above trendline
When not blinded by blowing snow was able to observe northbowl the zymbucks and dark side all appeared wind affected
Good snow in protected waterfall trees
