Evening Ridge

<p>We stuck to the shaded, more North-East facing slopes where the skiing was still good, and the sun effect was not going to cause issues. In the sun affected areas there was crust from the day before. By the end of the day, there was significant pinwheeling and some small (possibly size 0.5) natural slides (see picture). On the slopes we skied (mostly NE facing), the snow was great. There was no evidence of instability, though we had some sluffing in the steeper sections.</p>
