Crust thicker than Thor's pizza

StroopDogg, Wednesday 23rd October, 2024 9:32PM
<p>Good news: HS increases from ~100 cm at 1,600 m to 185 cm at ~2,200 m. 5-30 cm of low density HST depending on wind transport. There are several other crusts below Nov 15 MFcr, but the bottom meter of the snowpack is rounding, moist and happy. Bad news: Loud powder skiing. The ultra low density new snow provides minimal support. Expect fast, loose dry slides on steep slopes. Challenging skinning conditions - ski crampons recommended. The wind has scoured down to the crust in many locations at treeline and above, leaving a fat-skinny snowpack. Wind Light - W/SW gusting to Moderate</p>
