Brief description

Comment
Mt Baldy dangers we observed-

Bullet-proof ice patches scattered on the upper mountain in wind scoured areas, or hiding under a few inches of snow.

Firm snow on the entrances to the bowl chutes.

Small wind slabs in the bowl and the chutes that could knock a person over.
