Weather
solar radiation was pretty intense below TL with the newer snow getting wet real quick and roller balls off the skins in steeper terrain. lots of glopping. near and above TL the wind seemed to be abating the solar and temps a bit. wind was mod to light out of the S SW?
Snowpack
new snow was heavily rimed throughout poss mostly groupel some strong crusts under new snow on the sunny sides with barely any ski pen with the new snow settling and becoming effected quick on those aspects some light previous windloading in marble bowl with all of the old tracks filled in in the start of the bowl. As you get lower in the terrain new snow of this past weekend into this week barely covers old tracks but light refresh on top. overall snowpack gets facet punchy once beyond the lunch spot on shadey aspects
Avalanche
we had a bit of sluffing on the drop into the bowl proper from the ridgetop
