Quick report
Rode through several canyons. The snowpack is getting deep. Snow that has fallen since February 2nd makes up about a third of the snowpack.
The new snow is very supportable and you can ride anywhere.
Despite the avalanche danger. You can ride many places. The photo below is a good example of terrain to avoid
The powder is great. The next photo is a good example of where to ride to avoid avalanches. Spot the sledder ripping downhill powder.

- <p><strong>The</strong> <strong>main</strong> <strong>issue</strong> is weak snow at the ground. There could be others but this is all I found today. It is getting buried deeply.</p> <p><strong>To</strong> <strong>get</strong> <strong>an</strong> <strong>avalanche</strong> on this layer at the ground you would most likely need to be on a wind loaded slope. It may be possible elsewhere, but these places are where I’d be most nervous.</p> <p>It would also be <strong>hard</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>trigger</strong>. It could be the 1st person or the 10tb person.</p> <p><strong>Tracks</strong> <strong>on</strong> <strong>a</strong> <strong>slope</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong><em>ZERO</em></strong> indication of stability.</p>
