Comments
30cm of snow fell from Nov. 26-28th with warming occurring overnight on the 27th as expected. High of 1C at the cabin on the 28th with moist snow at 1500m and below. A temp crust formed up to 1500m the following day and most of the ski out was mashed potatoes as things got warm quickly. Snow all the way down to Penny.
Height of snow at treeline is ~120cm. We didn't observe any avalanches or reactivity in the snow even when skiing 40deg terrain below treeline.
