Quick Observation

Excellent riding if you can do it blindfolded! Snow is continuing to fall and the winds are still strong. Lots of new load out there and it doesnt look to be stopping...enjoy the deep, stick to low angle terrain and be aware of over head hazards.

Snowpack

New storm snow is very unconsolidated. Upper 15cm just beginning to form a very soft slab and below is even softer, potential to develop the slab over week layer and riders will need to watch for this over the weekend as the load increases Easy sudden results in the upper 15cms of new snow. Moderate compression test results (sudden collapse) on facets between two crusts down 55cms. No results on Ect
