Foggy ski along powerline pass trail to the German bridge. Debris field did not reach the trail. Looked to be a natural point release in the wind scoured rocks towards the top of the ridge.

Dusting of powder on an almost supportive snowpack. Ski poles punched through easily, but skis could sometimes stay on top of the denser layer while off trail. Wind effects of scoring and loading could be seen from Flattop to Flaketop
