AST2 Whitewater Ridge

65cm+ new snow from this storm made skinning tough. On the uptrack we saw shooting cracks, slabs forming and loose dry. Very deep tree wells and potential for snow immersion. A bit surprisingly, the snow seemed to have stabilized a bit on our descent, and we didn’t see the same evidence of the storm slab from earlier in the day. We stuck to mellow slopes and had difficulty skiing down through all of the fresh pow.
