We found some nice, stable cascade powder on a wind protected slope not too close to the Silver Basin blasting by the pro patrol.  The snow seemed to have settled from yesterday's knee deep, so we had only face shots. If we had fallen, we could have entered the white room I guess, but the snow was too good for that.
