Comments

A fine day around the north side of Blue Mountain. Great snow and riding conditions in wind protected areas(meadows, trees), not so much on the upper north facing slopes due to strong west winds in the afternoon striping exposed terrain and cross loading gully features. We saw a couple natural size one slab avalanches out of these cross loaded gullies during the day.
