<p>Over a dozen collapses experienced. Snowfall was trending heavier when we left.</p>

We toured up Garden City Bowls for a day of storm skiing. On the way up from Swan Flat TH, we felt one large collapse on a SW facing slope at around 8300 ft. We made a few laps in the bowl and each time we skinned back up, we had several booming collapses on the East facing side. A good reminder for me that the PWL doesn't care if you're the first or tenth rider on a slope.
