Evidence of wind transport around Baldy, although it was mostly unreactive to explosives and ski cuts. In the lower bowls we saw some activity on new snow interface with explosives and ski cuts, especially on previously un-skied and rocky terrain. We were able to open all terrain yesterday with the exception of River Run and Frenchman's South Slopes.

Within the resort boundary, snowpack is looking more uniform and fairly well bonded, although facets at the bottom of the snowpack do still exist in some areas. Wind slab exists, but does not appear to be cohesive enough to create an avalanche within the ski area boundary.
