Comments
A calm day in the Blow Me Downs. Lots of evidence of previous winds over open terrain.
A 1-5 cm surface crust across all elevations would make for some tricky skiing, but good turns could be found. No longer is the low density powder of last week, we now have lots of wind pressed surfaces and stiff drifts. Softer snow can still be found in protected areas/woods/meadows. Good overall coverage and travel. Snow bridges across streams and holes were much more supportive than last week.
Our pit location was an east facing slope at 440 m. Snow depth of 300 cm. A well settled upper snowpack and no problems to report on. No recent avalanches or cornice failures observed.
