Comments
Travel up to Lovat scout is pleasant, surface hoar noted on skin track till about 2000m. Full profile pit today (see snowpack) - and a nice little ski down on E/SE aspect. Wind Slab in alpine extends leeward until well into above tree line but snow turns into nice smeary surface once out of wind effect. No instabilities noted during uphill or downhill travel. No naturals noted facing roadway during drive up.
