Quick Observation

Skied the majority of Ogden Bench today. Crust up to 2100m. NW winds busy loading the SE ridge, creating touchy wind lens in lee features. Cracks shooting ~5-10cm deep today turned us back, but steady snow & wind overnight will make this interface engaging. Great skiing >2100m. Rutschblock had no result SE 2200m. HS @ pit 270cm. Witnessed a reasonably large loose dry (cornice trigger?) pour off Ogden's NE face sz 1.5+. Wind slabs ripped natural ridgetop off ogden bench on unsupported lee features up to size 1.5 <48hr. Evidence of large sz 2 windslab ripped to ground off Ogden's E face >48hr. Debris across lower bench made for difficult skiing on lookers L.
