Comments
Cool to pop above the clouds into bluebird skies. Bit of an inversion going on. ~ -7 all day. Extremely variable conditions in powder valley dependant primarily on wind exposure. At tree line 0-5 cm ski penetration, boot penetration to ground (65cm). Skied some laps of nice sheltered powder below tree line in avy paths north of the approach road. Not alot of structure to the snowpack where we looked. Avg 60cm HS.
