Comments

Warm day out at Zoa. Warmed from -5 at 9am to above 0 by 10:30.

Approx. 15-25cm of soft snow on top of a supportive crust. Surface hoar (2-4cm) visible until temps rose.

Average depth of snow was 90cm. Ranging from 60-125 depending on wind load.

Skied the NE aspect. Pretty tracked out after yesterday. About 8 parties were out.
