Quick report
- Red Flags
- Wind Loading
Plenty of snow still available for transport today. Early start in white pine with south facing objective in mind. Bitter cold at 10k feet in the winds. Believe south facing moonraker had naturaled/stuffed (small) from morning winds. Decided against it and turned around from West Pass after watching south’s get loaded all morning. Great skiing in sheltered areas.
Wind effect evident in open areas of lower drainage too i.e. Tri Chutes cross loaded up top.
