Comments
We explored the disease ridge zone, our morning evaluation was considerable, considerable, and low. We were staying away from steeper slopes. We did hear whumpfing in our travels in the treeline. We ski cut a size one avalanche on a convexity on a West facing slope. We made some snow observation.
S-1 all day with moderate winds, temperature around -5 consistently.
