Comments

Still seeing settlements and shooting cracks around the 1700m elevation band, this time in the Bean drainage. OK skiing on 10cm dust on bulletproof crust on almost-alpine S 2100-2400m slope, getting wet by 1pm and probably a nice breakable crust now. Great skiing in nice, shaded powder on SW trees 1900-2100m (felt like 10-20 new snow). Scary windslab on weak layer SE open tree slopes and meadows 1600-1900m. Breakable crust below.
