Weather

Beautiful, sunny and mostly calm wind.

Snowpack

The weakening snow surface continues to offer great skiing where it hasn’t been too affected by previous winds. Sluffs in the area were all small. Lots of good-looking tracks around the area without notable avalanche results other than the small surface sluffs and the 1 thin wind slab thing. Looking down the ruby range, there were some other areas where it looked like you may be able to find a thin wind slab problem.

Avalanche

Miner sluffing. A couple of thin, and very small wind slabs from previous days. 1 thin wind slab that was skier triggered today and only a couple inches thick, running more like a sluff.
