Comments

Riding down from needle had approx 15cm fresh with a noticeable crust beneath, most likely solar effect. Crist went away at lower elevations. Flat iron bowl had hard wind effected snow at top and nice pow lower day. Overall great day in mtns didnt see any signs of avalache activity skiing producing minimal sluffing.
