Quick Observation

Spent 4 days Ski touring in and around the Jumbo cabin. The first 2 days were sunny and great weather, -3 at the cabin and not much change in in the alpine. Was significantly warmer below tree line. the sun had some heat to it and was creating crust on solar aspects. Over night on the 22-23 saw significant surface hoar growth up to 5 mm between 1900-2200m in sheltered areas. During the evening of the 22 overnight into the morning of the 24th there was up to 30 cm of fresh snow with strong to extreme winds creating touchy wide spread wind slab. On the ski out on saturday any convex roll on the ski out was sensitive to skier traffic, we remote trigger multiple size 0.5-1 not running far or fast. Attached is a photo of the
