Throughout the afternoon the sun has been beating down hard on the North Shore snow pack ... Pinwheels are being seen and there's a slight crust found in the shaded areas that havent been hit by the sun yet ... The big factor here is the heavy, wet sluff buildup when skiing the steeper conves rolls and slopes ... No slab activity or propagation seen but the sluff build up is heavy, easily knocking a skier off balance and running a fair distance on the steep slopes
