A gaggle of us cruised a variation on the Chair loop. Good skiing in the shade, skiable zipper+ crust on SW aspects. Lots of small sun-driven plops/sluff in the alpine. Anything sunny will have a real crust Sunday?
Edit for photos. Thanks everyone for a great day!

Prior to noon every aspect except for SW skied well, afterward staying north of west was still great 8-14" fluff, on open slopes and in trees. Perfectly calm weather and warm sun was very nice at mid-day on the ridge crest, even though the official temperature was only 27, wow.

We saw a rescue-looking helicopter head north from I-90 over ~Low/Granite and continue northward out of sight at perhaps 11 am.
Anyone have an associated story? I'd like to think that they were out enjoying the beautiful day!

Wow. Hope the skier heals well. That's quite a video. Big thank yous to the dispatch, patrol, rescue, and medical folks involved.
