Quick report

Sunny skies and tropical temps. S and SW solar aspects still were capped with a 1-3cm sun crust at the time of our exit around 1300. On our descent of skook chutes, we kicked off a small (D1) wet slab that broke ~20' wide and ran about 50 vertical feet. Subtle changes in aspect made a large difference in snow temp and riding quality today.
