Spent 3 days in Serendipity Bowl. Monday lunch - Tuesday morning we measured 20cms of fresh snow at 1850m. With Tuesday temps at that altitude 0. 40cms at 2300m. Temperatures dropped Tuesday night into Wednesday. Very light winds, and no signs of wind at ridge top. Great riding conditions. A large avalanche cycle had occurred a day or more before our arrival. One small slide occurred overnight on Monday, and then we triggered a small one on a convex slope Tuesday pm.
