Comments

The area has received lots of traffic over the last few weeks. Lots of baiting skin tracks going all over. We did manage to find some short untracked slopes. The lower elevations are very rugged. We did notice lots of slab avalanches size 1 or less on all aspects. All previous to Saturday’s recent snow. Also lots of wind affected ridges and exposed terrain.
