The Gorge

Mild day at 17km temps wise with great skiing conditions! We did see the odd little tree shedding and a couple of very small point releases and roller balls, all which looked to have originated from tree bombs in steep terrain earlier in the day. The new snow from the weekend was light and unconsolidated on the W through NE aspects we travelled on based on ski feel and a few hand shears. I could pull off a block below the HST and above what I assume was the Jan. 30 SH layer, but only as a non-planar break. Got some very minor sluff on a couple steeper turns but otherwise little to no reactivity. The more tracked areas were not really filled in and skied kind of firm/crunchy. Areas that were less tracked skied amazing.
