Indian Basin

<p>Recent upslope storm created unusual windloading patterns on ALP solars (Indian Peak) which caused for variable ski conditions and a very significant whumph @2300m. In sheltered north-facing alpine terrain between 2200-2500m, conditions were much more favourable (no windslab and good quality skiing) which allowed us to ski terrain up to 40 degrees. Snowpack consisted of an HST of 3-5cms sitting atop buried windslabs and facets. Average HS: 85cms. No new natural avalanches were observed. Winds were L, SW with mostly clear skies and temps just below 0.</p>
