Comments

Skied the last 3 days on the Coq.

Snowed 15-20cm night March 4 down to the pass. This fell on 2cm thick MFC that was supportive on all aspects.

Plenty of sun Mar 5/6 made anything but pure N or NE aspects bad skiing with breakable crust. N/NE slopes at higher elevations holding boot top powder.

HS 230cm on a N aspect at 1800m on Needle Peak. Nothing remarkable on hand shears. Significant wet loose avalanches in the storm snow on the south face of Yak. Nothing moving on other aspects.
