Dog Leg

wardsbd, Monday 28th November, 2022 9:30AM
<p>Excellent ski conditions in the dog leg, snow was low density, not much wind effect at treeline. You could still feel old debris from earlier in the week. Also you'd sink through the powder, then sink a little bit more through the facets. Had whumpfing at the top of treeline on Ne aspect. Felt more loaded lookers left of the dog leg in the alpine than usual. Two size 1.5 naturals dry loose came down earlier in the morning from ridge top down the main dog leg. While we were putting on are skins at 11 am another 1.5 Na dry loose from ridge top came down half way down the track lookers right of the dog leg. Had some more whumpfing lower down where it was more faceted at 2000m. Also saw 6 size 1 dry loose Na which came down SE aspect of Hero's, starting at ridge top and not running that far, triggered by the wind. After lunch the snow and wind slowed and temperatures dropped and the Avalanche activity stopped.</p>
