Careful, take your time getting into your turns and be very cautions of rocks. I caught a pretty good one had a hard fall. Very unexpected thought I was taking it easy. Snow is thin and very unpredictable, changing from hard crust, with loose facets underneath, sun baked, and wind effected snow. Some observed loose avalanche across the valley on steep runouts but not enough snow or pitch in arethusa area that we observed. There are some turn to be had out there, just a reminder to take it slow this time of year.
