Comments

Wednesday was a beautiful sunny day and we were sheltered from the winds. There was about 25-30 cm of powdery snow offering some great rides. The powder sits on the old melt freeze crust, and in spots where we dug hand pits it was bonding well with a small thin crust ~15cm in the middle of the powder that was not as bonded. We rode mostly the N,NE,E aspect, no signs of wind slabs.
