Snowpack Observations
Traveled primarily on S and N facing terrain btw 9000-10200′ BTL. HS 250-300cm on N terrain. HN48 35cm & HN72 55cm, light density. Powdercats also reporting similar amounts (HST 22″) on Soda over the past 72hrs. Lots of natural activity on S-SE facing slopes as soon as the sun came out resulting in multiple Loose Dry’s to Sz 1.5 running 800ft to valley floor. No results in stability tests on N asp @ 9700, 35*: ECTX, CTN.
Riding Quality
A++ on cold aspects with face shots galore. Southerlies got cooked and developed a 1cm+ sun crust by day’s end.
