Comments

Had a dig on a east facing slope approx 2050m. 205cm depth of snow. Nov 21 crust down 140cm. Dec 1 SH (3-4mm) down 110 produced sudden hard (28) results. ECTX

Riding was best of the year for the first two laps. the 3rd lap it started to freezing drizzle and did that until our exit, to bad. gotta get it while its good. harvest season is upon us

a few avalanches observed out of normal performering steep west facing slopes. not able to see a crown through the clag.

and signs of bigger cycle 24-48 hours previously to size 2.5, think deep running on dec 1 or nov 21.
