Comments
Amazing riding today... just amazing. 20-30cm up from parking lot til about 1400m, then conditions changed to wind packed snow with less bonding. Cane across a small avalanche, obvious wind loading on ridges. Up at 1600-1700m changed again with near summit 10cm on ice. In shade and some north aspects surface hoar was evident.
Generally riding best in protected areas. Snow from 1400m was definitely wind slidey which made for some fun touring!
