Quick report
- Ample signs of a wet loose avalanche problem from previous days, with 3 x D2s and a bullet proof surface on all aspects except notherlies. - Propagating results from our ECT at 6800' on buried surface hoar. - We found some great turns in softer snow on NW slopes (above 6000), despite needing to dodge many tree bombs and rollers deposited before today. - While we thought things got rowdy for us skiing on the iced and whooped road down, the real rowdiness went to the 1 stuck vehicle, 1 jackknifed vehicle+ trailer, and 1 blown transmission. The road is dry until the icy sections start at 4200' Many wet loose slides on primarily Easterly, Southerly and Westerly slopes from before today up to D2.
