Quick report
Good riding on north aspects, heavily crusted on southerly aspects. Easterly winds, not transporting any snow. Second hand report of a small skier triggered avalanche in Horseshoe Bowl on a NE aspect at 9600' (similar to the previously observed avalanches in Chicken Scratch). So pockets of instability still exist at the upper elevations, especially on NE aspects that are in and around cliff bands. Seems as though propagation is going down as recent storm/wind slabs continue to facet out on northerly aspects.
