In sintesi

Great "dust on crust" skiing today. Convective flurries will add a couple more cm's over the next while. Watch for winds as the new snow will be easily blown around. Sheltered areas will offer the best skiing. Watch for sluffing in gully features. MM

    A variety of windslabs are out there now. The deepest being the hard slab from Jan wind event, down 40cm. Above that are the more concerning soft slabs, now buried with new snow. A thin, storm snow windslab may develop overnight in the ALP.

Good
