Quick Observation
None of the typical “red flags” were observed. Sun exposure throughout the day led to moderate warming on exposed slopes, snow did not warm to the point of becoming wet or sticky. No sign of natural avalanches. Lots of pinwheeling on sunny slopes. Skied shaded, sheltered, low angle supported slopes. Amazing powder! Sun crust forming on sun-exposed aspects by midday.
