Weather:
Snowpack: Short tour up copper creek to west facing slide path around 10400f btl. No Avalanche problems on slopes less then 35 degrees. Could have found small sluffs on steeper slopes. Found 1, 2-8″ wind slab over nsf with shooting cracks. Slab was only about 15 feet long and 3 feet wide. Looked like a few other very small wind slabs in the terrain. Cold temps and gusty westerly winds blowing snow at times.
