Riding quality was:

Good

Snow conditions were:

• Powder

We rode:

We found 35 cm over the rain crust from last week bonding well and unreactive in extended column and column tests (east aspect, treeline). Snowpack depth was 105 cm.

Didn't see any recent natural avalanches either with great visibility.

It was colder than we expected at -9, but calm at 2000 m. We could see snow blowing off a 2400 m peak in the afternoon from southwest wind.
