Sunny at Little Sand today!

<p>Today in the Little Sand area in the Lizard Range we found the best skiing was on north-facing slopes where the top 25cm was soft. There is little wind effect in the area with some stiffer snow at ridge crests only. The south-facing slopes are a different story with a pretty decent crust from strong solar and warmer temperatures at the beginning of the week. We sound the Jan 30 surface hoar layer in the area down 95 cm. No result from Compression or Extended column test and a Deep Tap Test (DTT 19 SP on size 9 SH) result. There were a few older storm snow avalanches in the area that we suspect are from last week but nothing new today. Temperatures were still cool at -7 as a daytime high in the alpine and light west winds in the afternoon.</p>
