Ogden Bench with lots of powder

<p>Extremely good skiing on Ogden bench today with 20-30cm of fresh powder, increasing as elevation increased. Started to experience whumps and settlements around 2,250m and turned around at 2,300m. Only small sluffs with evidence of one large avalanche in the past week or two off the east aspect of Ogden, but otherwise pretty quiet. Cornices are pretty large on Ogden. -4C at the car when we left, and +4C when we finished. Starting to get pretty warm out there. </p>
