Comments

As expected conditions out there today. Lots of signs of instability, whumpfing, old crowns, new crowns, terrain features producing sz 1's in the right areas.

There are 2 temperature variations through the recent storm snow as pictured. Not much moving on the faceted/surface hoar base. However we only tested small slopes.

Signs of a natural cycle which seem to be from yesterday, then some fresher crowns from maybe this morning or overnight.

The wind is moving the new snow around up past 1250m.

Enjoy responsibly.
