We found some great powder skiing in sheltered trees, around 20 centimeters of low density snow. There are variable conditions in open TL, either hard wind affected snow or 10 cm of soft snow; which is cracking on steep features. The wind was honking from the NE so our tour was quick, making it up to 1000 meters.

We saw the Jan 26 MFcr down 60, with no surface hoar on it, seems to be breaking down, no results from tests on an east aspect at 900 meters.

No alpine observations were made today with poor visibility but we are expecting wind slabs are still developing.
