Quick Observation

Great skiing with soft snow and warm temps. SE - E aspects have gone through a small natural cycle, with evidence of several Na and Sc avalanches up to Sz 1.5. Overall, low activity considering the large snowfall and heavy winds. Lots of skier traffic in the main bowl (see image #3).
