Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>I'm not entirely trusting the snowpack structure, so I'm not pulling on the avalanche dragons tail. Instead... I'm weaving through terrain I know can't avalanche and is void of overhead hazard- mid elevation, wind sheltered slopes, with a little south and east to the aspect and yeah, I'm having a blast on mid angle slopes.</p> <p>I thought we would've seen widespread wind slabs and a few more naturals. Turns out that problem was rather well-behaved</p>

Excellent travel and turning conditions on a soft, reboundable base.
