Report from February 12, 2021

We strolled around in the Tetons today.

We skied 3 chutes as fast as we could in soft snow.

It snowed 6″ last night and it was dense snow that kept us up off the firmer snow underneath.

Kinda like Tahoe snow.

It was exquisite.

We skied fast and got some amazing speed-check-turn-face-shots.

Too fun.

After 3 chutes we were tired and headed home saving a little energy for the rest of this storm cycle.

We did see some signs of instability out there today.

Mini loose snow avalanches – 4’x8′
Hand pits showed sensitive wind deposited soft slabs in isolated higher elevation, exposed spots that were about 4-6″ deep.

Ski cuts didn’t produce anything on all 3 of our runs.
