Deep Forever Young

<p>5 cm overnight at the Asulkan parking lot for a total of 15 cm for this small system. Few SZ 1 point release had covered the skin tracks around the Mouse Trap. Probed 235cm+ on the Asulkan Glacier. Youngs Headwall was in fine skinning conditions with SZ 1 sloughs releasing below the skin track near the top. A ski cut on belay at the top of the couloir triggered a SZ 1 slough. No instability could be observed in the very progressive snowpack. Every turn, 40-50 cm ski penetration, triggered a small slough. Two SZ 1 15-20cm thick soft slabs were ski cut. The fan skied amazing.</p>
