- <p>My concern for tomorrow is the forecasted moderately strong winds from the North/Northwest tonight. Has potential to transport a fair amount of low density snow. I would watch for wind slabs on E/SE/S/SW terrain probably just down from the ridgeline. Also, with any icy bed surface they may pick up more mojo than usual. I think it will be calm starting from the car tomorrow, but watch out for the wind slabs higher up. Probably nothing that a ski cut couldn't handle if you know what you are doing/looking for, but then you are left skiing icy bed surface?</p>

The new snow was what dreams are made of. Unfortunately, it fell on an icy crust. The skiing was pretty good on the lower angle but if you turned too hard, you felt the bottom. There was already a fair bit of transport going on. I was able to get some small cracks on what measly terrain I was on.
