Snow Conditions

crusty, powder, windAffected

Beautiful, sunny day out at shames. Some wind slabs observed on exposed north aspects, and looked very wind affected on south aspect (geronimo bowl area). We rode fish n chips, which seemed to hold the most powder. Didn't feel much of the crust until back at resort elevation (burnt trees). Surface hoar growing in sheltered treed areas above t bar. Saw what looked like a couple small human-triggered slides on north bowl and fish n chips, both at the crests and at steeper angles. Neither appeared big (<50m runout), but a bigger piece of geronimo bowl to looker's right of the normal ski line looks like it slid naturally under a shallow rocky area.
