<p>Most of the Notch area was a melt freeze crust. Below the few inches of powder was a solid hard base. Snowed most of the day so by days end there was accumulated fresh snow. We stayed close to the pipeline. Lower down off the power line we found fresh untouched snow. Didn't witness or see evidence of a slide but we were aware of the risk of sliding and stayed in very low angle terrain.</p>
