<p>Deep day at the Gorge, unsurprisingly had a lot of reactivity in the snowpack. Lots of sloughing at the storm interface with ski cuts stepping it down to the recent rain crust on open slopes. Warmed up throughout the day which had a noticeable affect on the snow. Pretty busy out there for a Thursday</p>
