Quick report
- Comment
- Both slide paths are getting skied out, though plenty of snow still out there, it's just not fantastic, with a breakable crust present at all elevations with some melting happening today lower down Facets all the way down, so very unsupportive off the skis. River crossing is also degrading with several crossings melted out, but still a few options to get across
