toured around a bit through the trees in the areas my crew calls yoyo/spilled milk and left over bacon. small slides on yoyo and the left side came down while I was out. Snow was really wind affected. temps rose a lot in the 4 hours i was on snow. lots of upslope wind as well. coverage is decent but we still need more before the trees aren't soooo sharky. small shooting cracks off my skis while skinning.
