Comments

Snowed all week before our trip. Continued to snow all 3 days we where at grizzly den. Storm total was around 145cm of fresh pow. The snow layers seemed to bond very well together and no significant temperature changes as it stayed around -10 to -15. Strong wind from the northwest on our final day. Skied in the steep trees all day. No signs of avalanches. Stayed away from exposed alpine slopes.
