<p>Light winds, no whumpfs today, no cracks in fresh snow either. Temps below zero above mid chair elevation. (800m) Breakable crust below 1000m's or so. (Not so fun to ski) Soft fluff above.(very fun to ski) Sun in and out. Large slough/debris piles bottom of Geronimo/hour glass run outs and blue boy area's. Some small slabs interspersed it seemed amongst the slough steams. No big zipper lines seen anywhere though. Several tracks down the Knowls, Northbowl and around to Fish bowl. No slab releases from our group, some light sloughing in steeper slopes. Fun day. Nice to be able to see around. </p>
