Mount Fernie East

npin, Monday 6th March, 2023 7:20PM
<p>Thin and weak snowpack on a West aspect we climbed. Recent snow was poorly bonded to the old surface (harder, wind pressed snow). Shallow, HS ~ 90-130 cm, and a faceted lower snowpack. Scurried away as quickly as we could. Found good skiing on N-E aspects. Southerly aspects now have a 2-3 cm breakable sun crust and very poor skiing.</p>
