Comments

15cm of new snow overnight, skied west and south aspects between 900-1400m. Gusty winds from the SE which shifted to NW later in the morning. New snow sluffing easily on steeper features but appeared to bond better to the ice crust than expected. One Na Sz 1.5-2 in NW aspect at 1350m, suspect this was from the Sunday's rain event, and then covered up with new snow.
