More Russell and sore muscles

<p>With a pretty good handle on avalanche conditions we decided to use today for some sled skills work in the marshy meadowy approach to Mt Russell. We found only 20 cm of very settled storm snow positively welded to the melt freeze crust that makes up the storm interface in this area, but it sledded wonderfully. No wind effect in this sheltered zone so no wind slab to speak of, but recent slabs should be well on their way to settling and bonding now anyway. It was a great way to end the week!</p>
