Quick Observation

We were heading up to Stoop Chutes but due to winds coming from the South West, we found those to be quite wind loaded at the top so we avoided the terrain and decided to ride chute 56 out. Cold conditions made for some very powdery snow on top of a melt-freeze crust. All in all the snowpack was consolidated with some exceptions on the way up from the hut to the top of the chute, mostly in the trees. We got some deep turns in the glades trees from about 2000m down to 1600m, whereafter it got a little crunchy but still enjoyable all the way out to the skintrack.
