Quick Observation

It was a cold, clear, sunny day up at Mount Seaton today. The trail in to the meadow is in good condition, with not too large of whoops. As we got into the meadows, we found there was evidence of wind effect that had filled the previous sledders tracks, but the snow was still quite soft for riding. When we headed further up into the bowl, we saw multiple large wind slab avalanches (size 2-2.5) that appeared to be 72 hours old on all aspects in the alpine. While there was still excellent riding to be found in sheltered areas, we stayed out of the exposed treeline and alpine due to the likelihood of wind slabs still existing and the likely poor riding conditions from the wind effected and stiff snow. In our snowpack tests in a relatively sheltered area just above the meadow we did not find any results.
