Comments

Excellent reset on White Queen today with no traffic at all! Very good snow quality with about 45cm ski pen. Top 200m of the run the crust was prevelant but not noticeable when skiing. The last 300m the temperature/sun crust was more noticeable but the snow was so deep it didn't matter. Lots of sluffing on steeper terrain features but the storm slab was not consolidated, something to take note of if the sun comes out tomorrow. 240cm HS.
