Great travel through Ten Mile Fiord to the upper valley today. 15-20 cm of new low density snow has been distributed around upper elevations by recent West winds. Wind exposed areas are striped of new snow exposing a crust from recent warm weather, while East facing lee features have been heavily loaded. At higher elevation was more snow, and protected areas held fantastic riding conditions. We noted a few Size 1 slab avalanches on S-SE aspects that looked fresh from this morning, but found good stability riding areas not affected by wind.
