Maroon north glacier

Absolute stunner of an opener. First real alpine turns of the 24/25 season! Cool temps in the alpine hovering around -6. No winds and mix sun/cloud. Boot top blower pow in the high alpine and thigh deep powder in sheltered areas at treeline. Evidence of some NE wind effect during last storm cycle with numerous small size 1 windslabs released on specific, steep, west facing lee features. No evidence of slabs today. Storm seemed to come in warm and tapper off quite cold, with good bonding of the storm snow to older surface.

Weather Report

Clearing throughout day. Steady temps. Calm wind but evidence of loading from the NE in the last storm.
