We kept it pretty tame today in the trees on lower angled terrain and lakes. 90 cm new snow, sitting on a surface hoar layer, deep as stuck fest. Wind was howling for a good part of the morning, then tapered off by afternoon. Observed one sz 2 natural on a NE aspect with propagation of about 500m. Dug a pit and saw some spicy layers with moderate results on a 35 degree NE slope. All details on reactive layers in photo attached to this MIN.
Weather
The wind was ALOT stronger in the morning and tapered off to light by the afternoon.
