Quick report

Saw the signs of the avalanche from the Gothic Townsite. We skied the northwestern side of Snodgrass and the Mini Golf area on this trip and did not observe any signs of instability on the lower elevation/lower slope angle terrain. Super fun powder skiing on 3/26 and 3/27, mash potato’s on 3/28. Happy spring!
