Apps approach

No observable avalanches or destabilised snowpack while climbing the trail/road through treeline from ~900 - 1240m. Performed one compression test on an east facing slope below the little hut on the way up to Apps. Snowpack was 85cm deep. A crust and facets approx. 25cm from the ground. New snow on top and on pack surface had consolidated into a sturdy base, no results on ct. Visibility and time prevented us from climbing higher and reaching the alpine. Rode small slopes and then followed our skin track out.

Wind picked up in certain terrain gaps, from the west; general light drizzle
