Weather

Broken Sky to Overcast, Cooling trend, Westerly Winds Light

Snowpack

Storm Slab was the main concern. Density change within the storm slab. Early storm had more moisture and cohesiveness, later part of storm cooled off with lower density powder. Some zones had shallow stiff wind slabs

Avalanche

Shooting Cracks 50 to 100ft within storm slab on Angles 19-30. Very reactive upon ski cuts. Saw Natural Avalanche on Westerly Slopes above Midnight mine road. R3 D2
