Tricky snow conditions @ Seymour today

navarana_smith, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>A real mixed bag of snow surface conditions up to Pump Peak today. On the up-track we experienced wet surface conditions and substantial boot pen (up to 100cm). Above 1300m, the thin melt-freeze surface crust was frozen, supportive & sketchy. Some opportunistic probing revealed two substantial crust layers down 30 and 70 cm at wind-affected ridge top. No HST could be collected due to impenetrable lower crust interface. Photos attached show observed recent avy activity on a SE aspect. Multiple storm slabs approx 30 cm thick, running ~20 m. Overall, a socked in day with gusty winds from the W-SW. At 3 pm, weather lifted and winds died down. Happy solstice!</p>
