Quick report

Absolutely perfect conditions however I think it will be short lived due to the constant cross loading. We observed this pretty much the entire day but the snow just wasn’t bonding to form a wind slab. There was about 4-5 inches of new snow on Comeau pass. And very little avy debris along the west face of Edwards. Zero instability, minor sluff.

Cold dry Powder and decent amount of cross laoding. However there were no obvious signs of any isolated wind slabs.
