Quick Observation
Essentially what we expected from today. Snowing (at times heavily) all day, light to moderate winds on the ridge. About 10cm of accumulation over the day, quite a bit more from overnight. Surface snow was slabbing up but still skiing reasonably well (though deep and heavy) on steep enough pitches. Ski penetration on the uphill was between 15-50cm. We ski cut a number of size 0.5 - 1s during the day on the steeper pitches. About 20-30cm crowns and 5-10m wide. Did not ride any large features due to the above so it was a bit challenging to get the right steepness to ski deep snow but not so steep to slide.
