Snowpack

The usual lines had filled in enough to ride, though still pretty thin. There was one cross loaded convex roll that was better filled in. It looked fat & had lot's of tracks in it. No sign of any slide activity. There were tracks in just about all the couloirs off this ridge. It is an area that fills in early every fall and gets ridden early each fall. There is certainly enough snow here to see avalanche activity.
