Anniversary Glacier

<p>We skied the Anniversary Glacier back to Motel 66. There's some good skiing on the glacier, but a wind slab is building in the lee terrain just below the Anniversary Col. Below 1800m there's a rain crust, which can make for some very challenging skiing through the trees. A lot (>10) of Sz 1-2 Na observed from the past storm, particularly off steep, rocky, thin terrain on all aspects.</p>
