Comments

Stuck to short, mellow sloped laps, with very minimal consequence and no terrain traps, steady runout grade.

Snowpack varied from 90cm to 140cm. The approach from resort and along Wawa ridge had some serious collapse under weight due to the hard surface crust. Could be of some concern on steeper slopes with the snow that day and any future accumulation. Soft powder and good conditions on resort facing side of Wawa NE to SE facing.
