With poor visibility, this area provided easy access to upper elevations today. Access Trail from George’s Mountain Village has not been groomed, but has easily survived the rain and temperatures from earlier in the week. A widespread 2-3 cm rain crust made for challenging snowmobiling. catchy on the skis and physical to deal with overall. Rain this morning had transitioned to snow by 10 AM, and we saw 5 cm accumulate by 1 pm, with moderate to strong NW-W winds. Snow has intensified throughout day. Under the surface rain crust, 20-25 cm of new snow from the last 48 hours, is sitting on the bulletproof rain crust from this past Sun-Tues. This new snow had no slab properties and came in with little wind it appears. With that and the surface crust we found no avalanches problems today.
