We skied the 35-degree right side of Wildwood bowl cautiously avoiding the main steeper portions. Snowpit results were good, riding conditions were ok once you got off the ridge it was pleasant. Gut feelings: you could not pay me to ski the gut of avalanche terrain that was being loaded by the new snow...it was hard to stand up at times while watching my partner ski into wildwood.
Tamarack Patrol reported results in the upper foot of snow with explosives and cornice kicks. Around 2 PM the Summit chairlift closed due to 70 MPH gusts at the top of the lift. Small Rocks were blowing.
