    Pockets of previous wind deposited snow overlies the Nov 4 rain crust. Test results are mixed on this layer but appears to be becoming more reactive with increased loads and continued faceting

A further 20mm (~10cm)  forecast, beginning Friday afternoon, and tampering off by Saturday am. Excellent skiing can be found at TL and, in sheltered areas through the forecast region. 

Snowpack Summary

The snowpack is highly variable depending on location. Height of snow at Parkers is ~100cm at treeline. The Nov.4 crust found up to 2600m, and is ~70cm deep. Test results on this crust have shown a mix of mod sudden/resistent planar results. Continued wind slab develop on N and E aspects ridge top down into treeline. Basal layers continue to weaken

Avalanche Summary

Avalanche control at Parkers Ridge today produced numerous, loose dry slides and a very healthy sz 2 that swept across the road. Dimensions of the slab, 100m x 200m x 60-100cms depth. Continued, moderate loading from steady sw winds and light HST observed after mid-day.
