Comments

We had great riding in the morning and into the afternoon, around 4pm the snow got heavy and sticky. We stayed off of extreme slopes and made conservative riding choices. Heard a couple avalanches up in the smith basin area, didn’t see them. Snow was pretty rotten and sugary on the back side of koko claims down to the Bull river.
