Moderate to Strong outflow winds coming up the Zimmy River Valley (easterlies) are transporting loose snow creating small easily triggered wind slabs on ridges. Saw few skier triggered Sz 1s on SE and S alpine slopes. Ski quality improved dramatically once in Triangle section of Tree Triangle. Northbowl was quickly becoming wind pressed and scoured, what a change from yesterday’s blower. Let’s remember to be aware of other parties, especially when skiers below are in massive inescapable terrain traps.
