Comments
@ about 1200m we started experiencing large whumps in the trees. Dug a pit and found the 80cm of recent snow sitting on top of surface hoar on a rain crust. CT19 Sudden collapse. New snow was fist to 4-finger. Will be interesting to see what this does once the new snow consolidates. Keep your head up!
