Yak peak

At all elevators, snow was wet and heavy. Lots of pinwheeling and solar sloughing; trees dropping loads triggering same. Hard crust 10cm deep in the alpine, but not below.

Loose wet slab loosed when I skied across a steeper convexity. Skied it out; no harm, no foul. The buried crust in upper treeline and alpine was reactive, but the minimal snow overtop limited slide size. No crust in evidence in lower, shaded, or below treeline.

Bluebird day

Heavy and wet with a shallow crust at higher elevations.
