Comments
A few days of skiing ending with Friday, first day in stormy but calm conditions and a ridiculous amount of dry powder then becoming increasingly clear over the following days. We skied BTL to ALP and E, W, N aspects. Snow felt uncomfortable in the ALP on E aspect where exposed to winds, with clear windslabs properties over hollow layers. Best skiing was found lower down treeline on that aspect or on ALP north facing runs. We skied over steep terrain with no results. Whumpfing was abundant but only very low BTL close to creeks.
Bombing Friday produced only small wind slabs results on adjacent E facing ALP features.
