<p>Fun day at Mount Field slide paths. Skied the first of the steeper line which lines up perfectly with the Takk. road. Snowing steadily all day in the S1-S2 range. Around 6 cm of new snow was covering our tracks on the way back(3-4hours). Low wind all day in the area, even up on the moraine at treeline. We saw 3-4 loose dry running down the cliffs above in the alpine. Approx 20cm of new snow at 2000m. During our ascent, we could feel 2 thin crusts in the first 10-15 cm. Soft slabs were definitely forming with the new snow which were reactive to ski cuts on that first melt-freeze crust. During the descent, we kicked off multiple loose dry sluffs that were running down fast, but not big enough to be a concern at that point, but something that will most likely change in the next days. Enjoy the new snow safely! </p>
