Observations

skied Tronsen Ridge near Blewett Pass. although we did observe some "whumphing" collapses and shooting cracks in isolated patches, overall snow cover was insufficient to pose avalanche hazard. exposed logs, brush, & "skianothus" posed more substantial issues. best turns on northern more shaded aspects.
