Comments
Approximately 15cm of new snow at highest elevation of Hero’s, tapering to about 5cm or less at valley bottom. As noted by the forecast, this snow fell wet, and that is true even at the top of the run.
The northerly winds have done a bit of damage on sweet sixteen. A natural size 1.5 wind slab ran into the bottom of the run. Some good pockets of snow, but by and large, it’s quite wind affected. Unfortunately visibility was too poor for a picture.
