Comments
Went for a walk up the surprise creek zone. Saw 30cm of dense powder sitting on crust on the SE aspect that we toured up. Observed shooting cracks from ski tips on 30-35 deg convex slopes. Turned around when we felt heavy whumpfing on crossloaded features at ~600m. Shoutout to the sauna boys at the comfort inn in terrace.
