• 30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.
• Whumpfing or drum-like sounds or shooting cracks.

Knowing the winds was moderate to extreme in the last couple days, that we received 20cm of new snow, in the morning, the ceiling was low and visibility was bad, we decide to ski trees at Fraser Chutes.

We experienced different kind of snow (wind slab, powder, crust, hardpack). We were able to find some good snow with low risk but be careful our column test result was CT2 on SO aspect and shooting cracks (see the snowpack tab).

Around noon, the clouds started to open and clear the sky around 14h. In pm, It was warm in the shelter of the wind.
