Weather

Brr! A beautiful and chilly day. We all agreed the winds felt the strongest at the valley floor. cloud cover: few

Snowpack

Natural activity observed on Gothic and small skier-triggered wind slab in a crossloaded feature. Did not experience any cracking or collapsing as we moved through the terrain today.

Avalanche

Skier triggered small (D1) wind slab in the steep rollers near the bottom of first bowl around 9,900 feet. Noticed a natural wind-slab on the Gothic west chutes that the fresh debris looked like it ran late last night or early this morning; the crown was difficult to discern and was obscured by wind transport.
