Comments

Winds were very calm at Sleeping Beauty today. Some surface hoar developing on all aspects above 1200m. We dug a pit at 1290m with no propagation in the column; hand pits higher up showed a crust down 30cm or so but no signs of instability. The heliskiers have been out and about but plenty of sweet dreamy pow if you're willing to walk!
