Comments
There was 5-10cm of fresh powder on top of a 5-10cm wind slab. The snow at the surface was light, being able to put your fist through. About 10cm down the snow became more dense where could only get your index finger through. 5cm below this the snow softened up, being able to put 4 fingers through. Not to alarming where we skied today, could be dangerous on steep open slopes.
