Quick Observation
A busy weekend in the Shames backcountry with tracks on lots of terrain, including steeper north facing alpine lines. No evidence of recent instability whatsoever on terrain we traveled through or in the many other alpine lines we observed skiers on, including steep rolls straight off ridgetops. North aspects are skiing great with about 50cm of settled powder above a crust. Pockets of more solid wind slab persist in places but are quite stubborn at this point and the crust interface on north slopes is not producing clean shears in hand pits on north slopes. South continues to be dust on crust. Light wind throughout the day but little to no visible transport happening.
