Comments
The crap crust extends up to about 1900m and is hard to ride below that. Above we found deep storm snow that was seemingly dense.
We dug 2 pits at 2 elevation bands and founds similar results, with lights to moderate reaction on the upper 15-20cms of the storm snow. Give a few days and we think it’ll bond nicely. Our upper pit was on a 40 degree slope on a E-NE aspect.
Winds were on and off but mostly chill through the day. Always nice to be out.
