Comments
Went for a tour up Zoa today. Coverage from the Falls Lake road was adequate. The beginning of the pipeline road still has a fair amount of alder, but it's manageable. Temp -4.5C, HS at ridgetop (~1750m) was approx 120cm and closer to 85cm in wind scoured areas. No instabilities were noted throughout the day. The top 50cm of storm snow seems well bonded to the late Nov rain crust, and the skiing off the ridge was generally pretty good. Some rocks are still lurking close to the surface and will likely require a few more good storms before they become adequately covered.
