Didn't get any results skiing the steep rolls in Zimmy trees. Some buried debris from 2 small naturals on the top rolls was noted. Good pow on what was likely some rain and wet snow earlier in the storm. North Bowl skied very well producing a shallow sz 1 soft slab in steep sheltered terrain on the second pitch. We avoided terrain traps and bigger terrain features. Definetely thinking the surface hoar is lurking somewhere in sheltered terrain, alpine or tree line, but we couldn't tickle it today. Also to note, some new surface hoar growing on the dome and in Zimmy. In the words of Dave Mayville "Don't die dude!".
