Quick Observation

There was only a trace of new snow at the highway level overnight but we found 10 cm of fresh light powder up in the alpine this morning. We sledded up and around the big flat glacier above Summit Creek. We saw some small dry loose sluff running out of steep terrain, nothing larger than size 1, with little wind, we haven't seen any evidence of windslab development yet. Even though avalanche danger is low today, we kept up good habits and regrouped in safe zones and always spotted each other when tackling steeper slopes. (PS: We found your shovels!)
