Quick Observation

Another epic sail after the most recent storm. Surprising lack of avalanche activity or signs of instabily over the last couple of days. Busy times in the high country with significant slope use of all aspects and angles. Today we saw shoot cracks and slab activity below treeline at 1700m on an easterly aspect. Down 45cm and was failing on the jan9 surface hoar 4mm and decomposing crystals. No true alpine travel due to intense ridge top fog and moderate sustained winds in the alpine. We avoided large steep open terrain and smashed trees....literally.
