Comments

Went for a little walk to dust off the skis. We found sheltered areas to hold the best snow with 50-90cm overlying the Feb Crust. We saw a few slides in ALP / TL bowls from early to mid week old. The upper snowpack is highly variable due to the recent wind events some areas stripped down to the crust while others are loaded up. Riding was alright with the wind affected snow being grabby.
