Obstruction Point Road to 4 miles from the Hurricane Ridge Road
Signs of Unstable Snow
None reported
Observations
We stayed on the Obstruction Point road due to generally breakable crust snow conditions that did not look to be decent skiing in Maggie's area so toured to a new area. Observed evidence of small wet loose activity likely from a few days ago (whenever last sun was.). Lots of cornices along the ridge above the road and areas scoured clean - all generally SSW facing. S/SW wind was transporting the small amount of new snow that was falling.
