Quick report

2” in the last 24 hours with light winds made for good skiing on northeast slopes. Stayed below 7600’ and at this elevation band the wind driven snow stayed soft and had no slab quality. It was easy to observe wind slab and wind affected snow from the last several days throughout my tour today. Many small cornices could be seen at and bellow Treeline.
