Commentaires

Log cabin east side was much better than we anticipated. The snow in the alpine is wind affected but there were many areas where we found between 5 and 10 cm of softer snow up to 1330m. Underneath that layer, there is a very solid slab which I couldn't break with my poles.

We noticed a small natural release on the east facing aspect. Pictures attached, both of the same location. One is the general area and the other is zoomed in.

Temperatures were stable around -3C all afternoon. We didn't notice any shifts in snow qualities due to the temperature but we noticed previous thaw-freeze cycles (melt crusts) in the alpine.

No signs of instabilities on the low angle slopes we rode. There is good powder down in the trees.
