Quick Observation

Day of ride in Doris Cr.

We found a generally weaker(easier to ride on) crust above 5000'.
The storm total when we left by 3:00 was 6 inches.
S and SE aspects were actively windloading and turned slabby around 2:00 with plenty of cracking underfoot. The more protected slopes did not see any of these instabilities.
Temps at the trailhead were below freezing.
