Quick report

Good conditions exist where you are not skiing on rocks. It is still early out there but smooth slopes ride well. Stability was good, some small dry loose avalanches could be triggered in steep terrain today, but there is evidence of some D.5-D1 avalanches from the storm.

Snow feels right side up and new snow has bonded generally well, I think this will give us a good start to a base for coming storms.

Also, travelled on some remarkable well set skin tracks, bravo.

Snowpack

Noted a light sun crust on SE but not enough to be a trouble. Ridge lines where wind affected from previous east winds. Sheltered and all other aspects had light settled powder.
