Quick report

Excellent skiing on N aspects with 4” fresh low density powder over settled powder from last weekends storm. Saw debris from many recent small dry loose sluffs coming off steep northerly aspects. Westerly winds increasing throughout the day, but uptrack tests showed just loose snow or very soft 2-3” slab even in areas we thought would be wind loaded. Low tide down low but we were able to ski all the way to the power lines using lanham exit with some inspired routefinding
