Route & General Observations

Sunburst typical up track up the west ridge. Winds steady around 10 to 20 mph with obvious snow being transported and deposited on the north side of sunburst. Shooting cracks on wind slabs on the ridge. The ski down the SW face was wind effected but not punchy. Overall pretty good skiing. Only enough parking for 1 vehicle this am as sunburst as parking lot was not plowed (2/23/21)
