Comments

Up to 150cm at 130cm in shelter places on top of the Feb crust. A few signs of sz1 storm slab avalanches on all aspects. South and West aspects had formed a bit of crust by midday. Shelter North and NE aspects remained dry and cold, with beautiful snow. SKi pen boot top. Boot pen to your waste. Open North facing trees are developing surface hoar. Some hidden hazards remain, specially in thinner areas (S and W aspects). Go enjoy this snow before it gets warm!
