Only 6 skier and 2 snowshoers in the Tatoosh yesterday. Beautifull day. We never get tired of skiing over there. Mostly excellent  snow, some crust forming on more southeast aspects. Weather started out clear and clouded over later in the day, even spitting a few flurries in the afternoon. Lots of big snowballs and many pt releases on sunny slopes. There have been some very large slides into Sunbeam Crk basin the last couple of weekends. Last weekend there was the remains of a slide that had traveled halfway across the bottom flats just above the road. Debris was in the car size range. Much of that was smoothed out this week with what looked from the remains of last weeks skin tracks as around 2 ft of new.





Nice turns on a nice day.
