Comments

Really nice shralping snow out there today. Rode mostly north easterly slopes. The reverse loading has stripped most gullies making them hard crust and poor skiing. Evidence of a natural cycle that may have occurred after the storm on Monday. Thin crown down to roughly 30cm at ridge top elevation and small debris field of maybe a 200m run. All findings today were stable and good skiing out there. Cold temps but great snow :)
