Kept it simple for a great solstice weekend digging around in the snow with an amazing partner. Dec. 18-19 - Na slab avalanches sz 1-2.5 at TL and ALP on northeast aspects of Midday Peak and East aspects of Cabin Peak. Reloaded leeward bed surfaces have accumulated 30-40cm since Dec. 19. Stellar dry boot-top powder skiing exists above about 1800m. Below 1800m surface conditions transition to moist heavy snow. Very thin Dec 21 ZR layer observed at least up to 1925m.
