Deep snow conditions at higher elevations in Manning. No new avalanches seen and insufficient slab properties for the recent storm snow in test results (ECTN). On Dec 30/31 we had a widespread avalanche cycle... is it over for the the Dec 26 surface hoar or will this preserved (and easily seen) layer come back to life again? We skied conservative lines.
Weather
Winds were picking up in the afternoon with the frontal passage and clearing skies.
