Powder Pigs snorting their way through Hermit moraine powder

Morgan, Monday 7th February, 2022 3:00PM

<p>A pen of powder pigs skied the Hermit moraines around noon. Quickly rising temperatures to above zero caused the snow to crust up and become wet on solar aspects. Noticed small wet loose sluffs off steeper solar aspects as well. All in all some good skiing on the more north eastern aspects of the hummocks on the way down the drainage skiers right of the Hermit parking lot </p>
