Awesome Alexandra Peak

<p>Headed up Alexandra Peak today to poke into the alpine before the next storm cycle hits. We sledded through crust on our travel up the road till 1300m, and then were pleasantly surprised by the snow quality the rest of the way to 1700m. The snowpack is well consolidated, with evidence of wind slabs in exposed areas that continued to build throughout the day. We were still able to produce mod - hard results on the Jan 1 rain crust, which was down 110cm at our pit location. It was good while lasted, looks like heavy rain is about to soak all elevations starting tomorrow.</p>
