Tet Park

<p>Skinning up in the morning was hideous due to the freezing rain crust under what was then about 15cm fresh dry powder, side hilling was impossible without some serious stomping. Skinning got better throughout the day as more snow accumulated. Cold, dry, low density powder fell hard all day long without a single break. By the time we headed out it had accumulated to 30+cm above the crust around 1500m. We skied a bunch of different terrain. Lots of dry loose sluffing in steep terrain but very manageable. Some small natural dry loose activity started to pop up as the day progressed. It was snowing almost down to sea level with accumulations of about 15cm @ 500m, accumulation lowering with elevation until 100m where it stopped. It was snowing hard when we left and I imagine much more will have fallen by the morning. Not much for wind slab from the previous snowfall since the freezing rain which may have either mostly missed the Tet or gotten completely wind scoured from the faces we skied. It was just dry powder on a supportive ice crust wherever we went. The last run of the day was amazing with 30-40cm dry pow.</p>
