Quick report

Skied E facing slopes above Fisher Creek saddle. While no instability was observed in our tracks, there was evidence of widespread avalanches in the surrounding area from our recent storm cycle. Snow was still soft and unconsolidated, but mod-strong S winds were giving us free skin track refills and increasing wind effect during our ski.
