Alpine & Treeline Solar Aspects

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>I'm currently guiding in the Esplanades, and we're finding the 13 February layer very reactive where a sun crust exists buried 40-50 cm especially on &gt;30* slopes.<br /> On a snowpit test, we had sudden failures upon isolation of a column and again on a compression test in the low easy range.<br /> A neighbouring lodge reported a skier remote size 3 yesterday and a natural 2-3 on this same layer today (no involvements). </p> <p>We're staying well away from big south faces.</p>
