Ascended to the backs bowls following a sub ridge and continuing to the ridge separating Mill B from Broads, where we noticed a group had traversed from the Diving Board,
skiing down beside a glide slide.
Descended the northwest facing to the flats.

There was a bit of west wind late in the day, which was moving the light density snow.
descending into Mill B south,
Weather:
Bluebird. There was a bit of west wind late in the day, which was moving the light density snow.
Snow:
There was a bit less than a foot of new snow at the upper elevations in Broads and Mill B south. The afternoon winds did blow the snow enough so that a shallow soft slab was triggered on Dromedary.
continuing out by traversing the skier’s left and descending to the creek, then following the trail.
Bottom Line:
The snow is mostly stable. I’d have concerns for shallow wind drifts on steep upper elevation terrain and also wet activity from warming if the sun continues for a second day.
