Shreddy Some Heavy Pow

lvanderhoef45, Friday 17th March, 2023 6:30PM
<p>Played around Fraser Chutes today, super heavy storm snow, bunch of natural avalanches on the way in (hwy actively being bombed near Skagway). Fraser camp temps above 2C at 1400 hours. Due to loading, temps, and previous wind scouring kept it super mellow (below 25 degrees slope angle up and down). Good fitness lap but unable to commit to terrain that would support good skiing due to conditions. Even with mellow slopes was feeling the lack of bonding of new snow over windslab/sastrugi, I'd be wary in steeper terrain with any form of consequence. Great tanning conditions, but a recipe to end a day in disaster, Mother Nature hates rapid change! Please keep this in mind as the weekend approaches!</p>
