Observations

Toured up tronsen head and lapped the lower section below the ridge knoll a few times. Snow was excellent, 4-8 inches of unconsolidated light snow over heavier snow beneath. We observed wind slabs on N, and NE aspects below ridge lines and on steeper rollers, but they were relatively isolated and easy to avoid.
