Skied Feb 9-12 in the Anderson Cabin area. Extensive surface hoar on old rain crust observed on slopes and in meadows at and below tree-line on Feb 9 prior to 15-20cm snowfall Feb 9-10. Light to moderate wind during the storm from the S/SW. Temps ranged -8 to 0 at 1200m with mostly clear skies Feb 10-12.
Whumpfing and shooting cracks observed in isolated cross loaded and lee terrain at tree-line on Feb 10 and 11. Several size 1 and 1.5 skier triggered avalanches on steep alpine and tree-line convexities. Numerous naturals observed up to size 2 from steep E and N alpine aspects.
The best skiing was found in the alpine and at tree-line on mellow W through N/NE aspects.
