Comments
Stepped out onto a pillow and released soft storm slab that propagated about 30 feet on a steep isolated convexity on Patsey. Ran on sun crust and estimated to be 10"-12" deep. New snow seemed to be bonding well on lower angle and wind protected slopes but apparent sun crust on west facing as we traversed.
