A few minor settlements in open slopes the day before. No observable Na activity except one small slab release on steep cross loaded S aspect terrain. Ski cuts on convexities resulted into results. Some new snow sluffing in steep terrain. Overall great skiing in Alpine. Parkers ridge appear to have a lot more wind affect.
