Wow, this snow is holding up fantastically!  Found really stable powder which did ride a little slow.  Only concern was ballbearing type snow about 10" down which would cause the shovel test to fail sproadically with about 2 from elbow.  No propagation noted.

1st tracks 2000ft down a couloir was a wonderful way to start the day.  Attitude re-adjustment complete.

Thanks to Rob for answering my late call for duty last night.  Started at 6am, back at work for 10:15.

Pictures and a video to follow.

Only bad thing about a dawn patrol is when conditions are so good its so hard to leave...VERY happy though!

Job done



Looking at the pictures it looks like you were up on Bryant's?
