Comments

About 10cm medium density new snow at Ogden Bench skiing nicely, can't see or feel any old tracks. Warm temps (-4deg at the road). Remote triggered 2x sz 1 windlslab from 80m & 50m away, right below ridge top. Almost no noticeable wind effect today but warm temps probably contributing to the soft slab. Can feel a buried sun crust on steep south aspects at TL, could ski cut very isolated steep unsupported features. Loud naturals shedding off cliffs on Mt Ogden and some very large cornices along the south ridge.
