We’ve gained confidence in our hazard assessment and were “stepping out” today in Dick Creek. We continued looking for signs of wind slab but did not find any, and had some great turns on steeper north and northeast aspects with minimal sluffing. The melt-freeze crust on solar aspects extends to mountain top and is breakable under skis/boards so kind of ruins the riding on these slopes. It did not unlock today at all, and while there’s widespread evidence of loose wet avalanches these are now several days old and we don’t expect to see more of them unless temperatures spike again.
