Comments

Lots of sluffing of new snow. No other signs of instability. Didn’t dig any pits but ski cutting had no effect other than on unsupported pillow type features. On ridge top a few small wind lips around but already buried by new snow. Wet and rainy at bottom but snowing lightly though the day up higher.

***logging has plowed the road. Can sled up from about 3km.***
