Sinclair snorkel fest in the trees

<p>Today we rode at Sinclair. Cold temps have preserved the recent snow and riding below tree line was very deep with 50 cm plus of cold dry storm snow from the last few days. At tree line and above strong winds have made hard wind slab on all aspects making for very difficult riding conditions. We observed multiple size 1 - 1.5 slab avalanches on N-NE aspects in the alpine. There has been extensive cornice growth recently and we gave a wide berth to slopes exposed to overhanging cornices. Windslab avalanches were our main concern, however the threat of large cornices failing, and triggering larger avalanches in steep rocky facetted terrain remains. </p>
