Route: Skied mellow <30’ lines in Montana, mostly in treeline, to base of Roscoes. Return to RMR via Catchers Mitt. Snowpack: no immediate signs of instability, whumfs or cracking on the routes we took. One previously released slab avalanche observed to climbers right of Roscoes, approx 1.5-2. Some surface hoar (~6mm or so) observed above alpine in traverse from boundary to Montana. Skiing conditions: Southern aspects skied well in pockets above treeline, but predominately poor and crusty. Non solar affected aspects skied much better. Catchers Mitt in good condition. Weather: Largely overcast, patches of sunlight but no consistent clear spells. Low to moderate winds throughout.
