Observations

Started under the inversion but the low clouds quickly burned off and turned into a beautiful day. We broke trail on the way up a NE ridge and were surprised to not get any cracking or collapsing. We skied E-facing terrain (5800-7000'), working our way up to 30/31 degree slopes, but would have been more conservative on the slope angle if we saw notable signs of instability or were near any terrain traps/other hazards.
