An amazing trip to Cerise Creekafter the big storm. We rode amazing powder in all different aspects ( mainly N, NE, NW ), and throughout the 3 days, the snow stayed surprisingly dry and really good. The temps went from -5 during the day to -11 or -12 through each night, pretty consistently. 2SA (skier accidental) slab avalanches (size 1) observed on unsupported shallow convex NW slopes - treeline and alpine.
