Quick report
Skied Reynolds NE face and the Nipple in Butler Fork, no instabilities noted except for surface sluffing in steeper terrain. The new snow was adding very little weight to the snow pack and improving the skiing as the day progressed. Pretty intense snow fall around 3:00pm, snowed about 2 inches in 40 minutes. Was feeling the bottom while skiing Reynolds face but later on the Nipple with the new snow and skiing a bit lower angle terrain the bottom was not felt. Crazy weather, from blue holes and sun to socked in and intense snowfall in a matter of minutes. Photos.
