Comments
10-20 cm of wind transported snow over a supportive crust. Ski conditions were fantastic after the depressing fain event of Feb 28. We saw two recent Size 1 avalanches that appeared to be triggered by cornice breaks. New cornices are quickly developing on lee slopes. Slopes below 400 meters were not as pleasant to ski with a nasty collapsing crust.
