Riding Before the Storm

<p>We found 10cm of powder on top of a 1cm thick crust that made for some ok riding conditions. Ridgetops had seen some wind effect and had some scouring down to rock and big cornices on lee slopes. Some of the cornices had broken off but had not triggered any slabs below. As we left the area in the afternoon a storm was moving in, it started to snow, and winds were picking up from the south east. </p>
