MCR Observation

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>since i hadn't seen this in any reports i'll throw this up. </p> <p>Be wary of any open areas below treeline in the Whistler area. Over the last few days I've been finding surface hoar to sz 9 down 45 cm, standing proud on approx 10cm of facets which overlie the ice crust. As the new snow is now starting to settle into a slab, today I was able to easily cut rolls and started a healthy sz 1.5 on a 38 degree pitch with 2 stomps on the rollover.<br /> While breaking trail, every step was radiating cracks and we could feel the facets collapsing beneath our feet. </p> <p>Otherwise the ski quality is fantastic right now. Great turns can be had but ride conservatively!</p>
