Cutblock South face

Riding quality was:

Good

Snow conditions were:

• Powder

We rode:

• Mellow slopes
• Open trees
• Sunny slopes

We stayed away from:

• Alpine slopes
• Convex slopes

Avalanche conditions

• 30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.

Did a column test on the south face of cutblock peak below the summit. 10 cm of unconsolidated snow sitting on 60 cm of finger hard snow and 2 thick ice crusts. Sudden planar failure on the ice crust at 23 taps.

Great ski quality on the south face, the storm/wind transported snow was thicker down on the run (about boot deep).
