In sintesi

Spring ski touring is here. If timing, aspect and elevation are thought out and planned well, the skiing can be quite good. Start early and look to the cold aspects for the best skiing.

Avalanche Summary

nothing new today.

Snowpack Summary

Flurries today gave another 5-10cm of new snow. Like the other storms, this snow is settling very fast. The Mar15th crust is down 20-30 with an improving bond. The top 50cm of the snowpack varies greatly depending on aspect and elevation. Solar aspects and areas below 2100m have a series of crusts, while the polar aspects and high areas are much drier. In both cases, the snowpack is well settled and well bonded. Ski quality on the other hand is very different from area to area. Deeper down, the persistent layers have healed up with the Dec15th still apparent, but not reacting in tests.
