Comments
Skied one of the bowls out at Viking today. 175cm near treeline. No results on our CT or ECT but there are a couple ice crusts in the snowpack. One is 2cm thick and 30cm above base and the other is <1cm and about 80cm above base. Otherwise the snowpack consisted of very strong rounded crystals and about 20cm of loose snow on top. There was quite a lot of hoar frost that had grown in sheltered areas in the trees but none in the open where it was quite windy. Riding conditions were consolidated powder and wind affect. Good times to be had!
