<p>We were not expecting to see such good stability of the snow pack. (See snowpack observations) The conditions were amazing, and confidence in the area we were in was high (from our own obv) There were signs of avi’s across the valley from us, and we induced some sluffing as we skid down, especially as the day progressed. </p>
