Comments

Explored East Raft access from new cutblock at 1600 m Rd 900 from Rd 170 from Rd 9 at 22.5 km.

Good fast skiing and easy travel. 10-15 cm recent storm snow bonding poorly to Jan 24 surface hoar, facets, sun crust - stuffing easily in steep terrain and running full pitch / low hazard. 200 cm snow depth at 1800 m.
