Quick Observation

Evidence in area of natural Avalanche cycle on almost all lee aspects up to size 2. Punchy firm windslab up to 80cm thick over facets size 2. Mild inversion in area, not much wind up high. Trees low down were filled with ice chunks, tree bombs, downed trees, and broken branches and needles. Intent was to find some good snow and do some sled assist ski touring... We opted just for the sledding.
