Bald Hills

ialindop, Sunday 12th January, 2025 7:00AM
Bald hills consisted of wind slab about 10cm below the fresh snow. The slopes on the N and NE sides contained soft powder. The peak and ridge line consisted of wind slabs that were firm enough to walk on as well as deep persistent slabs roughly 60cm below the surface of the snow. Below the deep persistent slab consisted of a grainy facet layer between the base and the persistent slab. Wind was consistently around 2-4km/hr until the sun started to poke through the clouds there were minimal small gusts around 10-12km/hr. Tree line was great for skiing some fresh powder. I did not dig a snow pit, I just probed with my ski poles to compete an informal snow profile test, walked through in non tracked areas to feel the snow.
