Quick report

Riding Quality
good

Skied Log Cabin Sunday along with several other groups. Unconsolidated storm snow in the trees and increasingly stiff soft slab and scouring with elevation in the alpine on N/NE aspects. ~80m above the treeline cutline landing NE aspect clean shear down ~60cms - we tested out wind loaded features nearby with no result. Our group did not observe any shooting cracks, though we did have a lot of whumpfing in the trees and 1 mildly heart-stopping settlement in the alpine. Looked windy at ridgetop most of the day. Based on the mixed messaging (spatial variability) we chose to ski conservative lines today.
