Purple Knob

<p>First min so please take with a grain of salt.Toured up Purple knob, following the existing track on the east side (dog leg area). 5-10cm of fresh powder on top of wind crust. Winds were moderate with gusts of 50-60km at ridge top. Attached picture was a hand pit showing the wind slab approx 10-20cm down. Dry loose snow was above with facets 10-70cm below the crust. Non reactive on 35 degree slopes. Elevation 2400’. Overall great day with powder turns. Only a few rocks found. Rode out the lookers left gulley in the dog legs. 30cm of powder was found while staying tight to the skiers right trees. Was able to ski out to the creek. There is a small bridge which was easy to cross. </p>
