Comments
Great Sunday riding at the Mic. Warm conditions with wet, heavy snow below TL, and lighter (chunky blower!) at TL.
Est. 5-10 cm fresh in the thinnest areas, especially in upper TL, where we felt a hard wind crust under the fresh snow. New wind affect was minimal.
Drifted to 20-30 cm in sheltered areas. Didn't feel much of a crust in sheltered/treed areas while riding. Lots of facets though, much of the lower snowpack didn't feel very supportive...
Popped a nice storm slab on a small slope, appx 20 cm, sliding on a thin faceted crust (I think!). We hardly saw any shooting cracks, the warm snow may not have fully consolidated at the time. Would be careful around larger slopes though!
