Quick report

Riding Quality
amazing

Great day on Nak shoulder. Storm snow varied btw 70-90cm on the most prominent mid-Jan interface. Snow was a bit heavy from the trailhead. Above 1400m the snow quality improved and was much better skiing. With the exception of unsupported features, there were no signs of instability noted. Stuck to mellow slopes and enjoyed face shots all afternoon!

Observed a handful of size 1 slides on unsupported, south facing convexities. One shown in photo that seemed to be triggered by the uptrack that was set just above the convex roll.
