qturner, Friday 10th December, 2021 4:35PM
<p>Skied the majority of Ogden Bench today. Crust up to 2100m. NW winds busy loading the SE ridge, creating touchy wind lens in lee features. Cracks shooting ~5-10cm deep today turned us back, but steady snow & wind overnight will make this interface engaging. Great skiing >2100m. Rutschblock had no result SE 2200m. HS @ pit 270cm.
