Comments

Skied mellow south facing slopes below treeline between 1600-1300m, deep coastal cement at times, with 30-50cm ski pen. Dug a quick pit at 1350m, 90cm of snow on top of the crust, 310 HS. Slightly upside down for the top 10-15cm, and possibly facets above the crust, fairly similar to observations from Hollyburn yesterday.
