Nothing you don’t already know—the snowpack was talkative today. Tons of energetic rolling collapses that shook snow out of the trees 50 feet away, and shot powder up around aspens in a Colorado-esque way. Shooting cracks on low-angle test slopes, and isolated small natural slides on steeper, W-facing terrain. The snow took heat yesterday (surprising), which produced a thin crust on some unsheltered solar aspects.
