Kernpunkte
Good skiing today. Wind slabs in the alpine. We are at a transition where natural avalanches have slowed down, yet human triggered avalanches are still a concern.

The Jan 6th surface hoar is down 100cm and the Dec 15 is down 120cm. Any slide on these layers would produce large avalanches.

Snowpack Summary
The recent HST has settled to 40-50cm. Wind slabs are present on all aspects in the alpine. Jan 6 SH was found down 90cm at 2000m with no results; yet it was very reactive one valley over two days ago. We have low confidence in adventuring into big terrain.
