We toured up to the top of Ursus Trees today and rode a couple laps. The snow in the trees was amazing. Ski pen up to 60cm and some solid waist deep turns in loaded spots. Today was warm but no major solar effect was noticed. A fair amount of others getting after it on Niccis and Ursus Minor We saw evidence of significant west winds and serious loading on Lee slopes. Plenty of small slab releases on the east side of bruins ridge by cliffs. Lots of wind drifts in ursus minor bowl. Frequent flyer also has run full path since the storm.
