Commentaires

The return to winter came with cold temperatures and not quite enough new snow to change the conditions to good! There were strong southeast winds moving around what little new snow (5 cm) into isolated pockets of wind slab. These isolated pockets were bonding to the crust for the most part. We tested a number of rollovers and only had minimal cracking at our skis. Wind ward slopes were being blown down to the crust making skiing variable between crust and wind-affected snow. We did see a couple small size 1 - 1.5 avalanches out of a steep lee feature in the alpine.
