Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions: 

Toured out near munchkins this morning. We stayed in the glades where there was about a foot of new snow. Light winds, but we were in a protected area. New Snow was a little heavy and you could feel a crust underneath it. Riding down we skied a north facing chute, about 35*, and that produced some small slides. They didn't propagate more than a few feet and were easy to manage. 

A couple small slides. Crows probably less than 6 in
