Comments

Grouse Mountain Ski Patrol. Ski cutting produced some surprisingly large results this morning with one notable size 2.5 100m wide running 50cm deep on early February crust initiated with a single light kick at the top of the start zone. Numerous ski cuts and skier remotes size 1 to 1.5 BTL running in the top 20cm of overnight new. Moderate SE'ly wind overnight formed soft touchy wind slabs up to 50cm deep on W aspects at TL.
