Quick report

Led a ski touring class up Alta Vista and into Edith Basin. Snow was very deep and light enough for the PNW. Saw signs of wind loading with wind lips forming along ridges. A group adjacent to us dug a pit and found the reactive layer on the same slope on Alta Vista. But we didn't see any signs of reaction due to skiing on any of the south facing slopes.
