Blowdown Zone

<p>Took a lap in the Blowdown Zone this morning. Up to 20 cm of recent storm snow over crust on all but northerly aspects skied like a velvety dream. Supportive melt freeze crust all aspects below ~ 1500 m had become moist and sticky by 1 PM. There were a few recent natural size 1 loose, dry sloughs out of steep, cliffy north facing treeline terrain and a brief lunchtime squall started moving some snow around at ridgetop but no slabs were found. Giddy up! Sorry no pics.</p>
