Weather

sunny, warm, no wind

Snowpack

Ski pen 14 inches, anything jacked a little east getting warm, north facing some wind effect in open areas, natural cornice failure caused a small release 14 inches deep and about 30 feet wide and ran about 50 feet, two big chunkers slid downhill about 100 yards. Overall pack felt and looked good in the particular spot we were skiing.

Avalanche
