Comments

On Monday there was a thick temperature crust at all aspects and elevations, except above 1950m on north facing slopes. Monday night we received 10 cm low density snow which did not bond well to the crust. Wednesday night snowed approximately another 30 cm - difficult to estimate exact amount as accompanied by extreme winds overnight.
