Stable & Suprisingly good!

<p>We took a quick lap through Five Mile Basin this afternoon and while there's about 2/3 as much snow as we'd normally see here, the riding conditions were great in the wind sifted pow. We had our heads in the snow a bit and really didn't see anything of concern, just a lot of strong snow. The Christmas capping crust is quite evident in the middle of the snowpack, and is probably the saving grace of this zone right now. Watch for fresh wind slabs near ridge crest tomorrow, there was a bit of reverse loading with east wind this afternoon. Conditions are good in the trees and there are some great turns to be had this weekend in sheltered terrain. Huge thanks to Whitewater for hooking me up with a pass for a work day today! 🙏</p>
