Comments
Widespread wind effect in Alpine and Treeline. Ski conditions variable in open areas and soft powder in sheltered areas. Snow Depth ~180cm at 2250m on South aspect.
Several natural wind slabs up to size 1.5 in steep, wind loaded features. 1 skier controlled wind slab size 1 on mini ridge feature.
Beautiful day in the hills!
