Comments

5 days at Red. Day 2 blustery quick explore around sun crust south, powder north aspects. Pit on south showed Crack @30cm on Heavy 2. Day 3 laps on north by cabin, good powder all thing considering, no instability, cloudy day. Day 4, 10cm of fresh, sunny/cloudy alpine laps towards little green on north aspect after pit showed heavy 2 @60cm down and no other instability signs 25-30degree pitch. Dug pit on south aspect towards lake similar results, great powder crust ski on 30deg pitch. Day 4 repeated glorius north alpine blue bird laps before skiing out on crusty ice horror. Temp varied at cabin between -5 and -2 no signs of instability visually or on feel but we didn't go onto steep pitches to test.
