foggy days

<p>The warming we got Friday seemed to have stayed below 1600m ish and the snow above that was amazing, a little heavier than normal but still super fun! We rode between 1600m and 2000m and stayed away from any slopes larger than 30 degrees because we saw signs of slab avalanches on small convex micro features releasing on the Jan 4 surface hoar layer and signs of instability throughout the day (shooting cracks). Visibility was very obscured and foggy throughout the day. Precipitation of "icy snow" that stuck to our goggles in later afternoon made visibility even harder. </p>
