Snow seemed stabile everywhere we went. We mostly rode in the sun exposed parts of God’s Country. Saw some rolling snow balls in few areas, but only saw this a couple of times.
Observation: Turnagain
Location: God’s Country
Followed the ridge-line into Little Sweden and ended up climbing to the top of Pyramid Peak (epic view on Saturday). Rode back down Pyramid and into God’s Country. Cruised around an old avalanche mentioned on the Jan 30th advisory, snow seemed stable in the area. Continued down into the tree line until things started to get really thick. Around 3:30 started heading back to the parking lot via Seattle Ridge. Rode the ridge down to Bowl 2. Rode down Bowl 2 and climbed into Bowl 1. It was starting to get dark/cold so we fast-tracked it out of Bowl 1 and down the common up-track.

Good coverage I n most parts, the ridge-line does have some exposed rocks to watch out for.
