Comments
This area has seen significant New Snow Load in the last week. Be aware thst conditions in the part of the region may have significantly higher risk as the temps warm up towards the middle of the week. Last weeks warming/Crust interface is now buried 40-60cm down and is amazing riding at this time. But the 5cm thick crust below is very well supporting and may be the next bed surface. We saw signs of the new snow beginning creep on steep slopes. Get it while the getting is good!!
