Variable styrofoam at treeline (Yak-Nak-Thar)

Riding quality was:

OK

Snow conditions were:

• Powder
• Wind affected

We rode:

• Mellow slopes
• Open trees
• Sunny slopes

We stayed away from:

• Convex slopes

The day was:

• Sunny
• Windy

Avalanche conditions

• 30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.
• Rapid temperature rise to near or above 0°C or wet surface snow.

Widespread wind effect in the Yak-Nak-Thar area, treeline (TL) and above. Wind transport all day even on lower TL features. Ski quality variable... tough to trust the conditions.

Below treeline (BTL) had 10-25cm of soft snow, which became moist on sunny aspects, then froze to give a thin sun crust - negatively impacting ski quality late in the afternoon.

The best skiing was shaded aspects upper BTL, where you could find 30cm of preserved powder.
