Comments

We observed 30-45cm of new snow above 2000m and had amazing skiing in deep powder. We were concerned about loose dry avalanches, storm slabs and the Nov. 5 Fc/MFcr. We observed no new avalanches and had almost no reactivity to skiing, aside from one very small loose dry. We observed low cohesion of the upper snowpack, but exercised caution given our uncertainty about the Nov. 5 layer. We estimated the hazard to be 3/3/2.
