Comments
Skiing was sub-optimal. Went for a scenic look and some low angle mountain therapy. Most snow surfaces are wind hardened and/or sun effected. There is some faceted goodness on very specific sheltered aspects in the Alp/TL areas and on shady slopes BTL where dripping and bombs from trees hasn't ruined it. Needs a reset. Observed 1-3mm surface hoar growing over wind board and sastrugi at ridgecrest. Solar aspects have shed are some snow is starting to corn up. Only one week-old cornice failure observed.
