Comments:
We saw a small avalanche next to the road. I also saw what looked like a wet loose slide that had come down off of some rocks in the Funnel on Mushroom Ridge.
None reported
We kept it mellow on Wishbone/ Twin Bowls and found the snow to be very crusty. There was a lot of evidence of wind. Walking in old tracks was such a tease because the snow in them was so light. To be honest, we expected to see more avalanches than we did. We had brought our binoculars to try to look at them.
