Comments
Great day out on an AST1 Field Day with Nanaimo Search and Rescue. We traveled around the Little Washington area off of Mount Washington. Cold overnight temperatures were preserving 10cm of low density snow on all aspects protected from the sun. Surface hoar to 5mm observed on the surface.
The Pineapple melt freeze crust is down about 25cm, and all well-settled snow below that. We found a height of snow at 1400m averaging 200cm.
No new avalanches observed.
