Instability Comment
<p>The thin graupel layer 30 cm down could be a problem, but I suspect it will heal very quickly.</p> <p>Can't ignore the monster in the basement, but it didn't seem reactive in my pits.</p>

Man oh man, reminds me of days of old, lots of perfect, right side up snow.  Some of the best powder skiing i've done in a couple years.
