Observations
PPG Owner Marty Rood:
“Our forecast and follow up pm discussion an hour ago is definitely “stepping it out”
Instructors hit surprise when I drove cat out. Gonna dip our toe in avy terrain with class( which is rare)
Loose dry in steep terrain only problem
240 cm cly off skier saddle.
Ski and sled pen, much better for traveling then previous 3 days.
Got clear today no naturals observed, far away. Old wind slab debris in cly off skier saddle, ran to bottom of track but not into deposit zone. D1.5 maybe 2
12/26 wind slab or cornice failure most likely.
Hit core shot and south corner with yurt group yesterday.”
