Comments
We skied south aspects and found nice snow on anything with a bit more east in it. Reverse loading made for some touchy wind slabs below ridges and tree bands. We heard a few of the winds slabs settle, but saw no avalanches. Lots of roller balls on extreme steep south facing slopes from yesterday.
