Trout River Bowl

<p>Early this morning we found dry cold snow on the move at the top of SE Hill, but on our return in the afternoon, the heat got into the snow pack, causing moist snow, and knocking back any transport. By mid day the Trout River bowl was starting to warm up. Wind effected and crusty, things were starting to soften on our way down the in the afternoon. The skiing wasn’t bad, but certainly wasn’t great. Our test on a SE slope saw Sudden Planer results 50 cm down, on top of a crust, but did not give way to any propagation in our ECT’s. Lots of remaining crowns and debris from last weeks natural avalanche cycle in the central bowl area, but no signs of any activity from last night and today’s rapid temperature rise. </p>
