Observations
Skied a few laps across different zones on Snoqualmie Mountain. After cutting a couple of steeper features and watching them go, decided to steer around convexities, and stick to the trees. Many of the steeper convexities that had been skied today in the trees released. It mostly stayed cold, but the sun came out around 2pm, so seemed likely to help the snow slab up.
