Mt Crumble

<p>We ventured West to Mt Crumble to get an idea of how much new snow had fallen over the weekend on the wetter parts of the Island. Snow line for sled or ski travel was roughly 450 m and quickly deepened with elevation. We ascended to 1150 m on to Crumble Ridge and we observed no new or recent avalanches. 30 cm fell over the weekend that seems to be bonding well to the snow below but we did coax a few chunks of storm slab from steep pillows on our descent but with extremely limited propagation and we had no significant results in our snowpack tests. Winds up high were likely blowing much harder than in our area and probably building wind slabs at higher elevations. The snow height was ~275 cm at treeline and overall ski quality was excellent! Well worth the trip.</p>
