Comments

Skied SE and SW aspects on the first bump to the west of The Crags. Fantastic 200m runs to the road. Temps steady around -11. Notable increase in consolidation within storm snow. Within areas travelled, no signs of instability or surprises. Flurries throughout the day with some isolated sunny breaks. No wind.

Test pit: 2090m E aspect, 30 degrees, ECTX. 40cms of snow (F -> 1F) overlies a stout sun crust.
