Comments
Pretty good riding overall. Just had to change out gloves and jackets. Light to moderate winds above the T and snow all day. 5cm/hr in the afternoon. Dug a pit just above burnt trees HS 5m+. Boot pen 70cm; ski pen 20cm. CTM 14 @ 45cm; CTH 27 @ 77cm. Both appeared to be SP on temperature crusts. 4F to 45cm then 1F to bottom of my pit at 1.6m. The ski hill seemed to have some mixed rain and snow until the afternoon (to top of chair) then it was just snow the rest of the day. Classic Shames storm day.
