Comments

Loose powder observed to treeline. Ridgetops were still thin with moderate SW winds. Very soft slabs developing at ridgeline. No observed evidence of avalanches. New snow bonding relatively well. Loose snow CT 4 at 25cm, resistant non-planar. Skied mostly low angle, loaded features. Tested a couple of loaded convexities with no results. All observations at treeline and below. Ski quality excellent. Lots of wind transport in the alpine. This report is for November 30.
