We found great skiing on high glacial terrain on NE asp where storm snow was preserved. Other aspects were more firm and wind affected.

Weather was kind to us, mild temps and light south wind, good vis. Strong solar in aft, observed sz1 wet loose in high steep rock South asp with sun.

Probed 300 cm on glacier at 1800 m. Top 10 cm settled powder, mod hand shear down 30 cm on old storm interface. Didn’t dig a profile but probing felt hollow down 60 and 120cm, weaker facet layers.

Less snow along approach in Y then usual this time of year (still sharks lurking on sled track) seems there has been more north wind stripping this season.
