Comment
Skied N facing alpine slopes in the Exstew. Snow was mostly wind affected in the high alpine, with pockets of good dry snow. Below that we had excellent boot deep powder on firm base. Surface hoar was growing again from ALP to BTL. We had once again today spooky wind slabs and whumpfing on the N alpine slopes.
