Snowpack

Saturday we toured out to the raspberry ridge. Opted not to ski anthracite. Warm southern wind made that snow heavy and thick. We skied into raspberry bowl on the north side. Light and soft, no prominent layers to speak of. Just hoar, soft snow to lightly consolidated near the bottom, then facets. Skied great, as did Mud. No obvious signs of instability. Cloud cover kept marble bowl and kiss your sister good even late in the afternoon.
