Comments
Most steep convexities released during the last storm, but two day old skier remotes in the lower bowl were observed, size one, but debris to 100cm deep due to sudden transition.
Ski pen to 45cm with top 30cm facetted. Surface Hoar in lower bowl to 9mm. Foot pen to 60 in sheltered areas (lower bowl gets no sun this time of year and is a facet farm).
Watched three riders ski a self-regulating Adit chute, with about 20cm of reload. Surface stuffing only, as chute had cleaned during last storm.
