Most slopes >30-35 degrees avalanched during the last warm storm, leaving a bunch of avalanche debris, now frozen and challenging skiing or riding. Snowshoeing could have been a better option. Location of the debris is shown on the map. 5 to 10 cm of powder on top of the recent crust is fun to ski on the mellow smooth slopes that do not have avalanche debris.
