Saw one instance of very localized collapsing, it was isolated to the recent storm snow. Did notice some mild mobility on top of the previous hard snow layer. This was mostly seen when sidehilling. In general stayed on a pretty conservative route and kept away from steeper slopes.
Observation: Turnagain
Location: Backdoor Tincan
Followed the Old Iditarod Trail though the trees, meet up with the common Tincan uptrack. Continued to just above the weather station. Great storm skiing on the way up and down!
