Comments
Skied the burn in the old caribou closure. +6 at the car in the morning and +7 in the afternoon. Periods of light rain on the walk in and difficult trail breaking in open areas with ski pen of ~20cms and a moist top 10. Dug several hastys and a "hasty ECT" (1900m-2300m) which all showed the most recent storm snow above facets and or a deteriorating crust. In all tests storm snow showed very little adhesion to the facets or crust below with an ECTP1 and very little resistance in hastys. Skiing was decent ish from 2300m to 1800m and then very moist and sticky below.
