After all the new snow that fell in WP, I’m sure everyone is dying to know what the conditions are like in Tally Ho. On the west side of the valley we found facets, deep glorious facets. Facets in the trees, facets in valley bottom, facets in my underwear. Facets from surface right to ground. The alpine is wind f’d. We put up superhero lines through trees so tight it would make a quantum physicist’s jaw drop. Re-entries were the chosen method for testing micro slopes, no results. Several recent natural slides were seen on East and south faces (size 1/2). Trees for traction 🤘🏽
