February 24, 2007, Yodelin

4 skiers and Tex the dog enjoyed deep powder at Yodelin with plenty of company.  Probably about 30-35  skiers and boarders in the area. We were cautious going up due to avy forecast, but did not experience or see any sliding, with quite a few tracks and a good skin track already laid. Poles went in 18 inches most places before hitting the underlying firm crust. It was fairly light but fast powder, and felt like it was getting uniformly denser toward the crust. North slopes. Best snow this season.  :D  Snowed lightly all day. Not much wind on this east side of the crest, compared to west side and right at Stevens Pass. We skied through steep trees first and then open moderate slopes on later laps. The only casualty was Kimber's left ski. Two G3 binding toe peice screws pulled out from the top sheet. She must have been having too much fun. Duct tape first aid allowed a slower ski out.  Maybe K & G will add photos.
