Comments

Rode a quick lap down Montana Trees and dropped into Hourglass from the Montana & Kokanee Ridge. Plenty of tracks abound, but plenty of fresh to be had.

Had a dig at around 2200 on S Aspect and got no results on an extended column test (ECTX), a compression test revealed resistant-planar results down 20cm & 40cm on tap 12 & 14 off the elbow (CTM12 down 20)(CTM14 down 40).

Overall height of snow at 275 (HS275).

Have fun out there!
