Comments
Day felt balmy at -6oC. Low visibility as it was snowing <1cm/hr at first but then cleared to broken skies. We skied 18cm of new snow which from 2200m and upwards sat on a hard crust. I didn’t dig a full pit this time but half of one to know what was under that stiff wind slab. It took pounding with my shovel to break through the 10cm bomber slab which revealed 40cm+ of loose decomposing snow. Yikes!
