Comments

Previous Mod-Strong SW winds in the ALP have caused widespread, wind-affected snow conditions. Ski quality was poor except in sheltered terrain at TL. HST 35-60cms at TL, 0-70cms in ALP. Localized whumpfing was experienced at TL at obvious weak points. No other instabilities were observed. Early season conditions kept us skiing cautiously.
