Lots of heavy snow made for a tough slog and slow skiing even on the 60% stuff. Weak layers @ about 12" and 3' gave readily in our block tests, but with lots of anchors and lower angles picked for li...[view]READ MORE

Great day, about 6-10 inches of fresh dry powder on top of a solid crust/ice. We experienced some very minor surface sluffs on one of the steeper chutes. Nothing to worry about. Fun day all around....[view]
