Commonwealth Circuit

<p>Quick loop of Commonwealth. Mostly cloudy in the am but a lot more sun pm. Once the sun was out the snow was moist within minutes(we were already down at the creek) Skied 5-10cm dense fresh snow over a supportive crust. several parties in the area on Thryst and one party ahead of us. Skiing was ok, but it was a good day out. Lots of signs of the cycle from earlier this week on west slopes. Especially commonwealth ridge (see picture).</p>
