DISPATCH FROM THE TOMBSTONES. Surprisingly warm, sunny day with little to no wind. However, there is lots of wind effect with very thin snowpack on exposed ridges and wind-hammered slopes. Access is tricky with whumpfing on all aspects, especially on cross-loaded features. 0-60 cm of snow depending on exposure to wind. Slabby conditions all around, but pockets of really good snow exist on NE and NW slopes. A few more big storms and things should setup very nice for the spring.
